The brisk northern breezes have ushered in a cooler atmosphere across South Florida, with Miami experiencing chiller than usual temperatures in the early morning hours. According to NBC Miami, the mercury dipped into the mid-50 degrees early Tuesday, with the daily highs expected to hover in the low-70s, a notable deviation from the typical early December weather where afternoon temperatures average near 80 degrees.
If temperatures in Miami remain below 72 degrees on Tuesday, it would mark the chilliest day since last February, as noted by NBC Miami. These gusty winds are keeping the high risk of rip currents strong along the coast, with a small craft advisory in place, which is keeping many to enjoy the beaches with caution in this kind of weather usually seen in November.
However, a shift is on the horizon according to the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service. Wednesday night is forecasted to see one more bout of widespread 50-degree temperatures before winds shift easterly, introducing warmer trends that will signal a return to the more familiar climate of South Florida.
By the weekend, South Florida is expected to bounce back to its usual temperature range with morning lows in the mid-60 degrees and highs around 80, as reported by NBC Miami. The clear skies are to persist into the early part of next week as written by the National Weather Service, with the forecast for Monday featuring mostly sunny conditions and highs nearing 80 degrees.
