PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Big changes in the temperature are heading our way with Wednesday morning expected to be the coldest in South Florida this season, according to the Local 10 Weather Authority.
The cold snap comes in Monday night and continues through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The wind gets going by the later part of the day on Monday and by evening, Local 10 meteorologist Luke Dorris says the air will have a “bit of a bite” to it.
Temperatures dip to 49 degrees by Tuesday morning and most areas won’t get out of the 60s Tuesday or Wednesday. But it’s Wednesday morning that will see the most frigid weather for South Florida.
The wind chill will make it feel colder and it might even touch the 30s in some spots Tuesday and Wednesday mornings because of the strong winds that are accompanying the front.
