Introduction to South Florida’s Weather

South Florida is in for a pleasant first week of December. Though Tuesday could see scattered showers throughout the region, especially in Palm Beach County and northern Broward County, forecasters are calling for mostly sunny skies during the day and partly cloudy evenings through the weekend.

Daytime and Overnight Temperatures

Daytime temperatures will remain in the low to mid 80s while overnight lows will dip to the upper 60s and low 70s. This temperature range is ideal for outdoor activities, making it a great week to enjoy the beautiful beaches and parks that South Florida has to offer.

Shower Activity and Drier Weather

“We’re still going to have periods of shower activity,” including Tuesday, said National Weather Service meteorologist Sammy Hadi. “Then there should be a period of drier weather on Wednesday into Thursday and Friday. But by Saturday and Sunday we could have a few showers along the coast.” This mix of sunny days and potential showers will keep the weather interesting and variable throughout the week.

Impact of the Mild Front

A mild front passing through will make Wednesday the coolest night of the week, with temperatures on the coast dropping to 66.

Wind Direction and Its Effects

“There will be a period of Wednesday where the winds will be from the northwest, which should feel quite nice, as it ushers in drier air,” Hadi said. As the week progresses, winds will calm and shift. By Friday, winds will be from the southeast and south, making inland areas warmer, Hadi said. The southerly wind will also bring a slight chance of rain along the coast. As a result of the south wind, temperatures over the weekend will be several degrees above normal.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the first week of December is looking pleasant for South Florida, with mostly sunny skies, comfortable temperatures, and a mix of dry and potentially rainy periods.
