South Florida is in for a sharp drop in temperatures this weekend, according to CBS News Miami. A cold front moves in Friday, bringing the coldest air of the season so far and the lowest overnight readings since March.
Friday afternoon highs will reach only the upper 70s under clouds. Once the front passes later Friday, lows are expected to fall into the upper 50s and low 60s. The average low for this time of year is 69 degrees.
Saturday will be bright and sunny, but highs will struggle to reach the low 70s, and a brisk breeze will make it feel cooler. Sunday morning will still be chilly, with lows in the upper 50s and low 60s, before highs climb back into the upper 70s under mostly sunny skies.
Conditions change again early next week. Highs near 80 degrees are forecast for Monday and Tuesday, with east winds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts up to 25 to 30 mph. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible both days, so residents should plan for wet weather and breezy conditions.
A small craft advisory takes effect Friday night through Saturday for Atlantic waters and the Florida Keys, and the rip current risk along Atlantic beaches is low.
