Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 13:57:00 GMT

Happy New Year’s Eve! Following one of the hottest years on record for South Florida, 2023 will actually end on a chilly note with temperatures this morning in the 50s across most of the region, with even some areas waking up into the upper 40s.That’s following what was the third coldest day of the year on Saturday when highs were only in the 60s!Thankfully throughout today, it will be milder but still cool and below average courtesy of the sunshine returning. That will allow for temperatures to reach the low 70s in the afternoon.With clear skies and a light wind remaining in place tonight, that then will allow for temperatures to quickly fall again overnight, reaching the upper 50s across mainland South Florida and the low to mid 60s across the Florida Keys as we ring in the new year at midnight.That will give way to another cold start to the day on Monday to begin day 1 of 2024. Even though it will be cold in the morning through, high temperatures will gradually turn w...
