Record cold temperatures swept through Miami Tuesday morning, with lows dipping into the upper 40s. This marked the coldest temperatures the area has experienced since last January. Miami International Airport reported a low of 48 degrees, tying the daily record dating back to 1913!
The winter-like chill didn’t let up on Veterans Day. Throughout the day, South Florida felt the cool air accompanied by a brisk north-northwest wind. Across Broward County, daytime highs only reached the 60s, reinforcing the cold spell.
Thankfully, these chilly conditions won’t last much longer. Wednesday will start with widespread temperatures in the 50s during the early morning hours but will gradually feel milder by afternoon. This change is due to a high-pressure system shifting eastward, ending the connection to the brisk northerly flow. As a result, winds will become lighter and veer off the Atlantic Ocean, allowing temperatures to warm up.
Despite these changes in temperature and wind direction, the drier air currently in place will remain steady. This means rain is not expected during the forecast period, keeping skies largely clear.
Looking ahead, the upcoming weather pattern will bring more typical conditions for mid-November. These seasonable days will be ideal for outdoor activities. As wind speeds decrease, it will even be a great time to put up holiday lights that may have been on hold.
Beaches will also become more inviting, though occasional rip current threats may persist due to the onshore flow. Nighttime lows are expected to return to the 60s, with daytime highs regularly hovering in the lower 80s.
You won’t need to revert to winter wardrobes just yet, but keep in mind that the next significant cold front will eventually arrive. It’s not on the immediate horizon, but as November progresses, colder air will return.
Stay tuned for updates and enjoy the mild November weather while it lasts!
