South Florida to See Temps 15 Degrees Below Average on Saturday
A Chill in the Air
We’ve been dealing with below-average temperatures for a few days now, but the 40s finally started working its way into South Florida early Friday morning.
Current Temperatures vs. Average
The unofficial low so far on Thursday is 48 degrees in Fort Lauderdale, 49 in Miami, and 60 in Key West. These numbers are more than ten degrees below average for this time of the year, but nowhere near record lows.
A Look at the Records
The current record low for a 24th of January in Fort Lauderdale stands at 34 degrees; in Miami, the number is 36, and in Key West, the record low for this date comes in at 45 degrees.
Nighttime Temperatures to Take a Dip
The cool, northwest breeze continues Friday night, and this time around we expect the skies to clear. This will bring even cooler temperatures to the region at night. Clouds radiate heat, so without them, we lose that subtle heat source.
