South Florida Braces for Brutal Cold and Dangerous Wind Chill Through the Early Week

AI Generated

Sunday features a dangerously cold morning with lows in the low to mid 30s on the mainland and strong winds that make it feel like the low to mid 20s.  Freezing temperatures are possible for mainland South Florida with the exception of the immediate coastal areas through midmorning.  The day will be sunny and breezy on the mainland, and the Keys will see more clouds than sun and a shower on the breeze in spots — but all of South Florida will be very cold.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Gulf beaches, and expect an elevated rip current risk at the Atlantic beaches — although only the most determined tourists are likely to visit the beaches.  Sunday’s highs will only reach the mid 50s.

Monday will bring morning lows in the low to mid-30s on the mainland.  Then look for sunny skies around South Florida.  Monday’s highs will top out near the 60-degree mark.

Tuesday will feature another cold morning, with lows mostly in the low 40s on the mainland.  Then we’ll see mostly sunny skies in the East Coast metro area and the Keys, and lots of sun along the Gulf Coast.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the upper 60s on the mainland and the mid 60s in the Keys.

Wednesday morning will be chilly, with lows in the upper 40s to mid-50s on the mainland.  The day will be sunny along the Gulf coast, while the east coast metro area and the Keys will see mostly sunny skies with some clouds.  Wednesday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-70s along the East Coast metro area and near 70 degrees along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Faith Based Events

Thursday’s forecast calls for morning lows in the 50s on the mainland, with mostly sunny skies across South Florida.  But the Gulf coast will also see a building breeze and some showers as another front moves in.  Highs on Thursday will be mostly in the mid 70s in the East Coast metro area and in the upper 60s along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.
