South Florida to experience cold weather into New Year’s Day
ROAD TO MILAN-CORTINA. I’M FLETCHER MACKEL. ALL RIGHT. VERY EXCITING THERE AND SOME IMPACT WEATHER FOR US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT TO GET VERY COLD AND IT’S GOING TO STAY COLD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. WE ALREADY HAVE A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA. AND THEN THERE’S ALSO A FREEZE WARNING IN PLACE THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA, EXTENDING ALL THE WAY INTO SOUTH GEORGIA. AND THAT’S WHERE THEY EXPECT TO SEE TEMPERATURES SO COLD THAT THERE COULD BE SOME FROST DEVELOPING FOR US. SO WE WILL FEEL LIKE AROUND THE UPPER 20S THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE TREASURE COAST TO LOW 30S AND EVEN THE PALM BEACHES AND PALM BEACH COUNTY FEELING LIKE THE LOW 30S AS WELL. SO THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO TUMBLE VERY QUICKLY. WE’LL SEE A COUPLE LINGERING CLOUDS, LOW 60S THROUGH AT LEAST 5:00, AND THEN AFTER THAT IT’S ALL DOWNHILL WHEN IT COMES TO OUR TEMPERATURES. WE’LL SEE THE 50S, THE 40S TO MID 40S, THE 30S FOR SOME IMPACT WEATHER GOING INTO EFFECT AT 1 A.M. ALL THE WAY THROUGH 9:00 TOMORROW MORNING. SO WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE WINDS AND OUR AIR TEMPERATURES SO COLD, IT WILL FEEL EVEN COLDER OUT THE DOOR. SO AIR TEMPERATURES CAN FEEL AS LOW AS THE MID 20S TO UPPER 20S THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE TREASURE COAST. EVEN SOME OF OUR COASTAL COMMUNITIES. AND IT CAN FEEL AS COLD AS JUST BELOW FREEZING. FOR STEWART TO HOBE SOUND, TO EVEN NEAR JUPITER. AND MOST OF PALM BEACH COUNTY IS GOING TO FEEL VERY, VERY COLD TOMORROW MORNING IN THE 30S. SO MAKE SURE YOU’RE BUNDLED UP. IF YOU TAKE YOUR DOGS OUT FOR A WALK, MAKE SURE THEY’RE ALSO WEARING THEIR LITTLE JACKETS AS WELL, AND JUST LIMIT TIME OUTDOORS, BECAUSE THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SCENARIO BECAUSE WE’RE NOT USED TO IT HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. AND ALSO, IF YOU HAVE ANY VERY SENSITIVE PLANTS, BRING THEM IN TONIGHT, BECAUSE THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS WE’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH SOME VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. HERE’S WHAT WE CAN PLAN AHEAD THOUGH. FOR YOUR NEW YEAR’S EVE. IT’S GOING TO GET VERY CHILLY TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S THROUGH THE EVENING, THEN FALLING INTO THE 40S OVERNIGHT, THEN WAKING UP TO A VERY CHILLY START AS WELL. FOR YOUR NEW YEAR’S DAY MORNING IN THE 40S AND ONLY HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S FOR THE AFTERNOON. FOR NOW, THOUGH, LOOKING GOOD OVER IN DOWNTOWN WEST PALM BEACH, TEMPERATURES ABOUT 15 DEGREES COOLER COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, WHERE WE SAW THE LOW TO MID 80S. WE ARE STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THE 60S FOR TODAY. A COLD FRONT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA. WE’LL HAVE A COUPLE LINGERING CLOUDS THROUGH THE REST OF THIS EVENING, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANY RAINFALL, JUST SOME VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. SO IMPACT MORNINGS FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AS WE WAKE UP TO THE 40S ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE TREASURE COAST FOR CONSECUTIVE DAYS. SO I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE RECORDS WHICH WERE SET IN THE 30S, BUT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THE 30S. WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANY RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES, BUT AGAIN, IT IS GOING TO GET VERY CHILLY FOR THOSE UPCOMING DAYS. SO HERE WE GO. WE HAVE THAT COLD AIR STICKING AROUND THROUGH THURSDAY, EVEN INTO YOUR FRIDAY MORNING. AND WE’LL START TO MELLOW OUT HEADING INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. SO YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE COLD TEMPERATURES? DEFINITELY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM. AS FOR THE BEACH AND BOATING CONDITIONS, MAYBE NOT GOING INTO THE WATER, BUT SITTING ON THE SAND DOES FEEL REALLY NICE WITH THE SUNSHINE. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN PLACE TODAY AND FOR TOMORROW. SEAS AT AROUND 4 TO 6FT OFFSHORE. HIGH TIDE JUST BEFORE 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. SO TODAY, TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING AGAIN TO GET OUT OF THE 60S. AND THEN TONIGHT WE’LL SEE OUR NUMBERS FALLING VERY QUICKLY. WE’RE GOING TO FACTOR IN THE WINDS. THE 60S WILL EVENTUALLY DROP DOWN INTO THE 40S 30S FEELING LIKE THE 20S LIKE I SHOWED YOU A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. WINDS WILL GUST AND MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COLDER. SO JUST PREPARE FOR THAT FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO DO IT ALL AGAIN. HEADING INTO YOUR NEW YEAR’S EVE PLANS AND EVEN NEW YEAR’S DAY MORNING. SO AGAIN, VERY CHILLY CONDITIONS ALL WEEK LONG THERE. SO TAKE A LOOK AS WE SET PLANS FOR THE NEW YEAR’S EVE PLANNER THERE. WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES BY AROUND 8:00 IN THE LOW 50S THROUGHOUT MOST OF SOUTH FLORIDA, AND THEN FALLING INTO THE LOW 50S JUST AROUND MIDNIGHT. LOOK FOR THE 40S PAST MIDNIGHT. SO THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO DRESS FOR. HERE’S YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE HAVE IMPACT WEATHER BECAUSE OF THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY MORNING THURSDAY MORNING, FRIDAY MORNING. HEADING INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH SOME NICE COOL AIR IN PLACE. NO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EXPECTED. AND THEN WE START TO SE
