Too Cold Today, Frost Possible Friday; Blizzard Conditions From Carolinas To Maine

too cold

too coldIt’s just too cold today for South Florida. After a downright cold and breezy morning, Thursday features lots of sun and a few clouds on a cold breeze (and a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches), so don’t look for a quick warm-up. Highs on Thursday will only reach the upper 50s.

Blizzard warnings have been posted for much of the coast from Maine to far northeastern North Carolina, including Boston, Portland, Maine, Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Norfolk, Virginia.

Winter storm warnings have been issued to the west of the blizzard warnings, including much of the Interstate 95 Northeast urban corridor from Maine to Delaware. This includes New York City and Philadelphia.

Friday morning lows will be among the coldest in a while, with readings from the low 40s right at the coast to the mid to upper 30s well inland. Patchy frost is possible in the western suburbs. Then Friday will bring good sun and a few clouds, but we’ll remain chilly. Friday’s highs will top out in the low to mid 60s.

After another cold start, Saturday will feature good sun and some clouds. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 60s.

Sunday will continue the slow warming trend, with a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday’s highs will be in the low 70s.

Look for more typical South Florida winter weather on Monday — sun, clouds, and balmy temperatures. Highs on Monday will be in the seasonable upper 70s.
