Coldest in 15 years: One-two polar punch could break South Florida records this weekend
"If you think it's cold now, just wait until Sunday and Monday morning. A second powerful polar air blast is on the way this weekend, and could produce the coldest temperatures in South Florida since the legendary and record-breaking freeze event of 2010. Fort Lauderdale and Miami should experience lows in the mid-30s Sunday morning, with wind chills at or below freezing, according to The Weather Channel. Daytime highs will only reach the mid-50s."
"Temperatures in the western suburbs of Palm Beach County could drop to 32 degrees overnight Saturday into Sunday. The National Weather Service said the last time temperatures dropped below 36 at Miami International Airport was Dec. 14, 2010. According to the Weather Channel, the frigid wind is emanating from northern Canada, along the shores of Hudson Bay, and will descend south and reach the sunshine state overnight Saturday."
A strong polar air mass will push into South Florida Saturday night into Sunday, producing some of the coldest readings since 2010. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are forecast to see lows in the mid-30s Sunday morning with wind chills at or below freezing, while daytime highs will remain in the mid-50s. The Keys will drop into the 40s overnight and stay in the 50s by day. Western Palm Beach suburbs could reach near 32 degrees. Gusty winds of 14–18 mph with gusts up to 34 mph will create wind chills as low as the 20s across the region. A rapidly developing storm off the Carolina coast will draw unusually cold air south from northern Canada and Hudson Bay, keeping temperatures in the cooler range through early next week.
