Temperatures are rising due to winds flowing in out of the South. This change in wind direction will place some records in the afternoon in jeopardy.
A cold front to the North will keep temperatures well above average until it gets the push it needs to sweep through the area late Saturday.

Temperatures are forecast to go drop into the 40’s and 50’s Saturday night into Sunday, making it the coldest air South Florida has seen since early December. The second night followed by the passage of a cold front is typically colder. Some models are suggesting possible widespread 40’s into Monday.
