After record breaking heat in some areas over the weekend, a sharp cold front is pushing unseasonably cold air into Central Florida, bringing a freeze watch to some of the northern areas and cold weather advisories for the rest of us through Tuesday morning. Forecasters say temperatures could dip into the upper 20s in northern areas and near freezing across Orlando. Here along the Space Coast, we will see temperatures dip into the 30’s but it’s not expected to be a hard freeze, although frost is possible. Gusty winds and very dry air have also triggered red flag warnings and fire weather alerts statewide.
Ed Histed
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
