South Florida is wondering what happened to spring in the wake of a strong cold front. Tuesday morning will feel more like January, with lows ranging from the upper 40s well inland to the upper 50s right at the coast. Afternoon temperatures will be in the mid 70s, even with sun and a breeze off the ocean.
On a typical day, we would experience the highest temperatures of the day during the mid to late afternoon with heating from the sun. On Monday however, we had our warmest temperatures of the day during the early morning hours before a cold fornt came through around daybreak and brought in a much cooler airmass. Temperatures fell or held fairly steady during the rest of the day across the region.
This sometimes is referred to as a “midnight high”, though the high temperature may not actually occur at midnight.
Wednesday will begin a warming trend, with highs in the upper 70s, sun and clouds, maybe a quick shower, and an increasing risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches.
Highs will be back in the low 80s on Thursday and Friday, and we can’t rule out a passing shower in spots.
