Coldest NYE in 25 years for South Florida
LOW TEMPERATURES. WE’RE FEELING. IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. I HAD TO BUNDLE MY DOGS UP BEFORE WE WENT ON A LITTLE WALK THIS MORNING AROUND 2:00, AND IT WAS SO COLD. THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE OUTSIDE, SO THAT’LL BE THE KEY TODAY. DEFINITELY WEAR THOSE LAYERS. MAKE SURE YOUR PETS ARE BUNDLED UP. THE KIDS ARE BUNDLED UP. EVERYONE IS STAYING WARM BECAUSE IT IS VERY COLD, ESPECIALLY FOR SOUTH FLORIDA LOOK OR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE THIS MORNING, WAKING UP TO FEELING LIKE THE 30S WITH AN AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE MID 40S. SO WE’RE GOING TO FACTOR IN THE WINDS. ALL THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO WATCH THEM DRASTICALLY DROP. WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WIND CHILL VALUES. SO TEMPERATURES ARE ACTUALLY FEELING MORE AT AROUND FREEZING IN VERO BEACH ALREADY. SEBASTIAN YOU’RE FEELING LIKE 34 DEGREES, FEELING LIKE THE LOW 30S THROUGHOUT MOST OF OKEECHOBEE COUNTY. WE HAVE THAT COLD WEATHER ADVISORY THROUGH 9 A.M. THIS MORNING, AND THAT’S BECAUSE OUR TEMPERATURES WILL FEEL LIKE THE 30S FOR A COUPLE OF MORE HOURS. SO JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. IT’S COLD. WEAR THOSE LAYERS AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE SUNSHINE LATER TODAY. SO IT SHOULD FEEL NICE IN THE 60S. BUT AGAIN IT’S SOUTH FLORIDA. SO WE’RE NOT USED TO THESE TEMPERATURES. WE HAVE A COLD FRONT OFF TO OUR EAST. WE’RE DONE WITH THAT SYSTEM. OUR NEXT ONE IS HIGH PRESSURE ACTS ON THE LINE, AND THAT’S GOING TO SET US UP FOR SOME REALLY PRETTY WEATHER HEADING INTO THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS OF THE NEW YEAR. SO AIR TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S THROUGH AT LEAST 6:00, AND THEN WE’LL FEEL STILL LIKE THE LOW 40S. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT THE DOOR, KEEP IN MIND THEY’RE STILL GOING TO BE THAT BREEZE THAT WILL MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COOLER. AND THEN BY LUNCHTIME, WE’LL REACH THE MID 60S TO LOW 60S THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY TODAY. AND THAT IS AGAIN VERY CHILLY FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. SO OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, VERY QUIET WEATHER, WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING A WEEK FROM TO OUR NORTH. IT’S NOT GOING TO DO TOO MUCH FOR US HERE IN THE SOUTH, BUT ETA FOR THE NEXT COLD FRONT WE COULD SEE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO FOR YOUR SUNDAY. BUT AGAIN, WE’RE NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WITH IT. IT’S GOING TO HELP REINFORCE THE COOL AIR THAT WE EXPECT FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THIS IS COLD AIR. WE’RE GOING TO SEE COOLER AIR BY NEXT WEEK. A NORTHWEST WIND 10 TO 15 KNOTS. WE HAVE A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR AREA WATERS SEAS AT AROUND 4 TO 6FT OFFSHORE. SO AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR DAY TODAY, WE’LL SEE OUR TEMPERATURES AGAIN GRADUALLY HOVERING IN THE 60S. LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. FOR THOSE EVENING PLANS, WE’RE GOING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT WHERE THE LAYERS. IT’S GOING TO BE A CHILLY ONE. IT’S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL, THOUGH, FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKY, BUT THAT MEANS TEMPERATURES WILL DROP VERY QUICKLY. WE’LL SEE THE 50S, THEN WE’LL SEE THE 40S BY AROUND MIDNIGHT, AND THEN WAKING UP TO YOUR 40S AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEW YEAR, SOME 30S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE TREASURE COAST. SO IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY CHILLY START HEADING INTO 2026. HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING THE 60S AGAIN FOR THE AFTERNOON. SO WE HAVE IMPACT WEATHER WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY BECAUSE OF THESE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. AND THEN YOU’LL NOTICE FRIDAY, WITH THAT DRY AIR IN PLACE, WILL GRADUALLY WORK OUR WAY BACK INTO THE 70S. BUT
