Overview
- A strong cold front is expected to move through late Thursday night into Friday and will bring the coldest air of the season with Saturday morning lows forecast in the upper 50s to low 60s.
- Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are likely Thursday into Friday ahead of the front, with storms able to produce gusty winds, frequent lightning, and brief heavy downpours.
- The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Statement warning that minor coastal flooding is possible around high tides along Atlantic beaches and the Keys.
- Behind the front, dew points are forecast to drop to noticeably lower values by Saturday, producing a drier feel and sunny, breezy afternoons with highs mainly in the low to mid‑70s.
- Forecast models hint at a disturbance or low over the northern Gulf early next week that could bring additional wet weather to Florida, but its track and impacts remain uncertain so forecasters advise monitoring updates.
