Cold weather advisory issued for South Florida
DIFFERENT STORY THAN WHAT WE SAW COMING INTO WORK. WE ACTUALLY HAD TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S EARLIER ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. BUT AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS EVENING, LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, JUST HOW THEY TUMBLE VERY QUICKLY. PANHANDLE, FLORIDA DROP INTO THE LOW 30S. CENTRAL FLORIDA DROPPING TO THE MID TO LOW 30S. AND EVEN THE TREASURE COAST. FEELING THAT CHILL WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE BIT OF WIND HEADING INTO MONDAY MORNING, IT WILL FEEL EVEN COLDER. AND THAT IS WHY THE COLD WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED. WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW. ALREADY. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CRIS MARTINEZ HAS REALLY BEEN HAMMERING IN ON JUST HOW COLD IT’S GOING TO BE, AND HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT. AGAIN, TEMPERATURES CAN FEEL LIKE THE 30S THROUGHOUT MOST OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. AND THEN THERE’S THAT FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR CENTRAL FLORIDA INTO THE PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA. SO AGAIN, SANDRA WILL BE GOING OVER THOSE NUMBERS WITH YOU TOMORROW MORNING. AND SO WILL GLENN. SO TAKE A LOOK. WE HAVE OUR FIRST COLD FRONT MOVING OUT OF THE WAY, A SECONDARY COLD FRONT STARTING TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. EVENTUALLY WE’LL SEE THAT WORK ITS WAY OFF TO THE EAST. BUT BY THE TIME IT REACHES US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, IT’S GOING TO KIND OF JUST STALL, GIVING US A CHANCE FOR A FEW PASSING SHOWERS. WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE A TREMENDOUS DIP IN OUR TEMPERATURES WITH THAT ONE AS IT MOVES THROUGH, BUT IT COULD BRING US A COUPLE OF SHOWERS HEADING INTO YOUR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. SO TAKE A LOOK. OUR FIRST FRONT CLEARING OUT OF THE WAY. WINDS A LITTLE BREEZY AT TIMES THROUGH THE EVENING. TUESDAY WILL BE THE WINDIER DAY AS A SECONDARY FRONT MOVES THROUGH. THE AREA WILL HAVE WINDS GUSTING CLOSE TO 30 AND THEN HERE WE GO. WE HAVE IT STALLING. A COUPLE OF SHOWERS START TO BUILD IN AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR WEDNESDAY. A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE ON OR OFF ACTIVITY THERE. TUESDAY AGAIN, A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO. BUT WEDNESDAY DEFINITELY THINK WE’LL SEE A COUPLE MORE SPOTTY SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. AND THEN THURSDAY WE’LL SEE A COUPLE EXTRA SHOWERS WORKING THEIR WAY IN AS WELL. SO AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH A SERIES OF FRONTS, SHAKING UP OUR WEATHER HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. SPEAKING OF THE LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS RIGHT NOW AS THE SUN CONTINUES TO SET 85 DEGREES WAS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE EARLIER TODAY, JUST A FEW DEGREES OFF FROM OUR RECORD OF 87 DEGREES, WHICH IS AGAIN VERY, VERY HOT FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. CONSIDERING THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE SAW SNOWFALL 63 RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A DEW POINT JUST AROUND THE LOW 50S. WE HAVE THAT DRY AIR MOVING IN AGAIN. WE’RE REALLY GOING TO FEEL IT THROUGH THE REST OF THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO IMPACT WEATHER DOES KICK IN A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING. TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES AGAIN. LOW 40S. FACTOR IN THE WIND. IT’S GOING TO FEEL SO MUCH COLDER, ESPECIALLY FOR THE TREASURE COAST WEST OF THE TURNPIKE. AND 95 AND OKEECHOBEE COUNTY AND INLAND PORTIONS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. AND THEN ALSO, AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR MONDAY MORNING, JUST PREPARE FOR THOSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES VERY, VERY CHILLY IN THE 30S. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON IT’S GOING TO STAY COOL ALL DAY. TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE MID TO LOW 60S. SO WE’RE GOING TO STRUGGLE TO BREAK OUT OF THE 60S. IT’S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU’RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE THE JACKET ON ALL DAY LONG, BUT THEN YOU DON’T NEED IT. AFTER THAT. I’LL SHOW YOU THAT SEVEN DAY COMING UP IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. BUT FOR NOW, BEACH AND BOATING FOR TOMORROW, SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OFF OUR COASTAL WATERS. SEAS AT AROUND 3 TO 5FT OFFSHORE. SEVEN DAY FORECAST IMPACT WEATHER MONDAY BECAUSE OF THE COLD TEMPERATURES THAT COLD WEATHER ADVISORY. AND THEN WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY NEAR AVERAGE FOR YOUR TUESDAY. THEN WE’RE GOING TO CRANK UP THE MOISTURE. CHANCE FOR SOME RAINFALL MAKING A RETURN WEDNESDAY THURSDAY. AND THEN COME FRIDAY INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM. SO THAT MEANS AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE CHANCE FOR SOME PATCHY FOG IN THE MORNING. WARM START TO YOUR MORNING
