It won’t be the best of weekends in South Florida, unless you like storms followed by some of the coldest weather we’ve seen in a while. Storms are in the forecast for Friday, as a cold front approaches our area.
Look for early showers, highs in the upper 70s, a high risk of dangerous rip currents, and then afternoon and evening storms, bringing periods of heavy rain, gusty and possibly damaging winds, and dangerous lightning. Some minor coastal flooding is also possible.
The front sweeps through overnight, and Saturday’s temperatures won’t make it out of the upper 60s on a breezy and sunny day. Sunday morning will be very cold, with lows in the 40s throughout Miami-Dade and Broward. Even with lots of sun, highs will top out in the mid 60s on Sunday.
Monday morning will be cold again, with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s, but a warming trend will begin in the afternoon as highs reach the low 70s. Tuesday will be seasonably warm, with morning lows in the low 60s and highs in the mid 70s, but rain will return on Wednesday.
