A strong cold front moving through South Florida on Friday is bringing cooler temperatures and lower humidity, with the coolest weekend of the season expected to follow, according to WSVN 7News meteorologist Vivian Gonzalez.

Friday starts mostly cloudy with a stray shower possible. Skies should gradually clear in the afternoon, and highs will reach the upper 70s to low 80s as northwest winds pick up.

Saturday is the chilliest day. Morning temperatures will dip into the 50s across much of the region, and afternoon highs will only reach the upper 60s to low 70s, about 10 degrees below average. Expect plenty of sunshine, dry conditions and a crisp northerly breeze.

Sunday starts chilly again, with afternoon temperatures warming into the mid to upper 70s.

Forecast models show winds increasing and unsettled weather possible next week, as deeper moisture could move in from the Gulf. The station said it will continue to track the forecast.
