South Florida is currently positioned between cold fronts. The first front passed through late on Monday, pushing out the warmth and humidity that had been building for days. As a result, we’re now experiencing a stretch of chilly nights with lows in the 40s and 50s, followed by pleasant afternoons with highs near 70 degrees.
Tuesday brought a good amount of sunshine, which was quite beneficial. However, cloud coverage will increase on Wednesday, accompanied by patchy rain bands. We’ll also have to contend with gusty breezes due to distant high pressure.
As the week progresses, attention turns to a future cold front developing from an area of low pressure over the northern Gulf waters. Although the low will remain to our north, it will drive an unusually strong front into Florida. Behind this boundary, a significant chill will spread, bringing what could be considered very “rare air” for South Florida this weekend.
Could it break record cold temperatures? It’s possible, especially as we enter the month of February. South Florida is likely to be under cold weather advisories—stay tuned for specific alerts and timing. Currently, the coldest mornings are expected next Sunday and Monday.
What makes this system particularly impactful is the forecasted drop in lows into the 30s, with highs reaching only the 50s. To put this in perspective, the National Weather Service recently noted that the last time Miami temperatures fell to 39 degrees or lower was back in December 2010.
Stay prepared and keep an eye on local forecasts as this chilly spell approaches.
