Better to be safe than sorry, still not showing below 40 here . It is interesting that is shows highs in the 60's each day, but over 20 degree drop for lows .
Accuweather shows same as Weatherunderground for here.
Sherri, I'm on the barrier island and our weather is substantially different than it is across the bridge. It's very difficult to find weather reports specific to this location. I keep a lot of weather records just for that reason.
Arlene, I get that, we're right off Lake Jesup, and it changes the temperatures and winds from what the actual reports show. Another great app for your phone is https://myradar.com/ I really like the radar for my walks, not so great at temperature predictions though, but great for rain alerts.
Arlene, having lived on a barrier island for 20 years I envy you your microclimate. I am betting your soil temp is significantly warmer, I know that was the case where I lived. The ocean never went below 55 there so the ground water (and the ground) stayed at 55 also.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
Isn't it strange how the temp is so different such a short distance away, the river clearly defines the difference. The water is pretty wide out here but it is the same closer to downtown where the river is more narrow.

I am in putnam about 15 miles east of Alachua county so I always worry that the temps could get super low for me and frost although I am not in that county when Alachua gets their frost warnings.
Yes, Alice.
Right now our temp is saying 88, with a "feels like" of 91....
No rain yet, but very windy!
Makes it really hard to believe that we could see frost Sat. AM.... grrrr!
The river makes a huge difference!
Eric, if it was me, I'd definitely be watching Gainesvilles weather. You're not far at all, and being more inland than them...I think I'd be taking precautions... aggravating, isn't it!
It's been in the mid 80's for Wednesday and Thursday. I'm expecting that the ground is warm enough to protect my plants from the 48 degrees this evening. Probably will have low 50's if I know my location as well as I think I do. No rain here, either!
