Orlando weather: Severe weather exits state after strong cold front moves across Central Florida

A winter storm system moving across the South on Wednesday and Thursday spawned multiple tornadoes. Florida felt the brunt of that same system on Thursday which brought heavy rain, lightning, and damaging winds. As the system exits the state, it will usher in clear skies and cooler temperatures. 

Tonight's low: 53 degrees | Tomorrow's high: 69 degrees | Rain: Dry |  Main weather concerns: Cooler temperatures arrive behind a cold front that brought severe weather to Central Florida on Thursday.
