Following a series of fronts since this past weekend, a blast of cold temperatures has been unleashed this week.
Temperatures this morning reached the 50s for most locations, including the Florida Keys, making it the coldest so far this season.
Even some inland areas of Miami-Dade and Broward dipped down into the upper 40s!
Going forward, we’ll ease back into a warmer but still mild and comfortable weather pattern as ocean air returns.
While today will remain rather cool with highs still stuck in the low 70s, the first signs of ocean air associated with the changing pattern will be noticed this afternoon as sunshine gives way to mostly cloudy skies flowing in from the Atlantic Ocean.
Then eventually overnight, it will be a battle between this onshore breeze and the land, northerly wind. This means milder wakeup temperatures for Thursday with lows in the upper 50s inland, near 60F across the metro and low 60s by the coast. The Florida Keys will generally fall into the low to mid 60s.
The rest of the week will be nice with sunshine and patchy clouds paired with highs in the upper 70s to near 80F and lows creeping into the low to mid 60s by the weekend. It will be notably warmer starting Thursday afternoon versus during the day this Wednesday.
A weak front moves through late Friday, essentially locking in these comfortable conditions. Behind that front will be another area of high pressure, keeping our pattern quiet and dry until perhaps another potential front mid next week.
We could use the rain, though, with Miami now experiencing its longest dry streak in more than 7 and a half years!
