South Florida Wakes to New Year's Chill Under Cold Weather Advisory

A strong high to the north funnels cold, dry air into South Florida.

Overview

  • A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect until 9 a.m., with feels-like temperatures dipping into the lower 30s.
  • Afternoon highs will reach only the lower 60s near Lake Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast, with mid to upper 60s elsewhere.
  • Clear skies and light winds tonight could allow patchy frost in inland areas, with mid to upper 30s near the lake and 40s along the east coast metro areas.
  • Hazardous Atlantic conditions persist for beachgoers and boaters, including a high risk of rip currents for the Palm Beaches.
  • A gradual warmup begins Friday as high pressure shifts toward the Gulf, with a weak, mostly dry front late Sunday into Monday and little rain expected early next week.
