Miami Experiences Rare Chilly Veterans Day as Temperatures Dip into the Upper-40s

Miami residents woke up to an unusually brisk morning on this Veterans Day, with temperatures plunging into the upper-40s across South Florida. Wind chills were even lower, hitting the low- to mid-40s at the coldest point of the day. The forecast has promised this shiver in the air to be short-lived, though, as temperatures are expected to slowly start to climb back up throughout the week, according to a report from NBC Miami.

The National Weather Service has indicated a breezy and mostly sunny Veterans Day, with a high around 69 degrees and formidable north winds of 16 to 18 mph, gusting up to 28 mph. "Enjoy this brief cool down, because we’ll start warming up as we round out the rest of the week!" reported NBC Miami. Tonight's weather remains partially cloudy with a low near 61 degrees and North winds from 9 to 13 mph, and occasional stronger gusts as high as 23 mph. The National Weather Service provides detailed updates on these conditions.

Wednesday brings a partly sunny forecast, with a high near 76 and Northeast winds between 8 and 11 mph, implying temperatures will still be under the average but a notch up from Tuesday's chill. Normal temperatures for mid-November mornings are cited to be in the upper-60s, a sharp contrast to today's reports from the same sources.

As we head toward the end of the week, a relief from the biting winds is expected with more seasonable highs. Thursday should see a partly sunny sky, with a high around 79 degrees and north winds from 8 to 11 mph, sometimes with gusts as high to reach 18 mph. The respite from the cold continues into Friday, with the National Weather Service predicting a high near 81 degrees and a Northeast wind flowing between 7 to 10 mph.
