Rare Veterans Day Cold Snap Chills South Florida, Ties 1913 Miami Record

Forecasters say a brief chill gives way to a warmup later this week.

Overview

  • Morning lows fell into the upper 40s and low 50s across Miami-Dade and Broward, with several spots reporting 47–49 degrees and the Keys in the upper 50s to low 60s.
  • Miami International Airport hit 48°F, matching a daily record set in 1913 and marking Miami’s coldest morning since late January.
  • Brisk north to northwest winds near 20–35 mph produced wind chills in the low to mid-40s and led to a high rip current risk and small craft advisories.
