It is a warmer start to your Wednesday. A strong brisk breeze will be in place all day keeping temperatures very comfortable, with highs only reaching the mid-70s, staying below average.

Jan. 15: Big chill hits South Florida

As skies clear over South Florida and northwest winds blow, unseasonably cold air will settle over the region Thursday night. Temperatures are forecast to drop to the low 40s across much of Miami-Dade and Broward counties overnight. Early Friday morning, it may feel like the mid- to upper 30s. The Florida Keys will not be as cold, with lows expected in the upper 40s to the low and mid-50s.

Showers will dampen parts of South Florida and the Florida Keys Monday night, particularly along the immediate east coast.

Jan. 10: Get ready for a rainy pattern shift in South Florida

Jan. 10: Get ready for a rainy pattern shift in South Florida

Get ready for a pattern shift as a front ushers in showers across South Florida starting Sunday. The front will sweep through the region late Sunday, with isolated showers possible ahead of it. As the front stalls over the region from Monday through Wednesday, rain chances will increase as the week wears on.

Jan. 4: Slight cooldown, mostly dry week ahead

Jan. 4: Slight cooldown, mostly dry week ahead

As we continue to unwind and reset on this final evening of winter break, temperatures will cool into the 60s. A cold front is currently over the region, but it lacks moisture. Drier air aloft continues to mix down to the surface, limiting rain chances. While conditions will remain mostly dry tonight, an isolated shower cannot be ruled out.

Dec. 26: Sunny, low-humidity weekend before cooler new year

Dec. 26: Sunny, low-humidity weekend before cooler new year

It was a perfect day, with highs in the low 80s and full sunshine. With low humidity, temperatures will fall quickly this evening, and we will wake up to the low 60s. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some far inland areas flirting with the 50s. The forecast is on repeat for the weekend.

Dec. 25: Quiet, comfortable weather continues across South Florida

Dec. 25: Quiet, comfortable weather continues across South Florida

High pressure building over the Gulf will keep South Florida’s weather quiet and comfortable. Winds will be light out of the north, and dry air higher in the atmosphere will limit widespread rain. That said, there is still just enough moisture near the surface along the Atlantic and East Coast to allow for a few brief, stray showers today. Rain chances are low overall but not zero — especially near the coast — which is why forecast rain chances were nudged slightly higher into the 10% to 20% range.

Dec. 24: Warm Christmas ahead before cooler air returns

Dec. 24: Warm Christmas ahead before cooler air returns

It’s going to be a warm Christmas, with highs reaching 80 degrees for the first time in four years. Expect a stray shower or two moving in off the water. Any showers will be light and fast-moving, so they should not interrupt outdoor plans for long. That low rain chance ends Friday and continues through the weekend as a large area of high pressure moves overhead, bringing calm winds and completely dry weather for several days.

Dec. 19: Pleasantly warm weekend; maybe a stray shower

Dec. 19: Pleasantly warm weekend; maybe a stray shower

Conditions will turn more comfortable in South Florida Friday night as light northwest to north winds usher in less humid, slightly cooler air. Temperatures are forecast to dip into the mid to upper 60s across Miami-Dade and Broward counties overnight.

Dec. 18: Temperatures above average Thursday night and Friday

Dec. 18: Temperatures above average Thursday night and Friday

A stray shower is not completely out of the question for South Florida on Thursday night. A combination of noticeable humidity, lingering clouds and southeast to south winds will keep conditions warm and perhaps a bit uncomfortable for Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Overnight lows are expected to fall into the low 70s.

Dec. 17: Random sprinkles and a bit warmer

Dec. 17: Random sprinkles and a bit warmer

A passing shower could dampen parts of South Florida on Wednesday night, particularly along the East Coast. Otherwise, the night will feature partly cloudy skies and easterly winds across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Overnight low temperatures are expected to be near 70 degrees.

Dec. 12: Showers and storms return late weekend

Dec. 12: Showers and storms return late weekend

It was another really nice day, with highs staying in the 70s. We’ll reach 80° again this weekend, but that’s not far from average. The bigger story will be the return of showers and even some thunderstorms. Saturday looks mostly dry, but showers will start moving in Saturday night. The rain will begin in the Florida Keys and work its way north. By Sunday morning, we’ll all have a chance for hit-or-miss thunderstorms.
