Miami is set for a chilly end to the year as a cold front moves through South Florida, with temperatures expected to feel more like a northern winter than the usual subtropical climate. According to NBC Miami, the front will push across the region on Tuesday morning, causing winds to increase and temperatures to struggle reaching the low-70s during the early afternoon, after that it's a sharp drop into the 40s as nighttime approaches.
South Florida could be facing its coldest weather since January, with NBC Miami predicting temperatures to drop into the 40s across the region on Wednesday night, while the Florida Keys remain slightly warmer in the 50s. Despite the chill, skies are expected to clear after early Tuesday morning’s dense fog, bringing mostly sunny days until the weekend, when temperatures are expected to return to normal.
The National Weather Service concurs on the clear skies, predicting "mostly clear" nights with lows hovering around the upper 40s to mid-50s and "sunny" days following the front's passage. Their detailed forecast, available at NWS Weather Forecast Office, indicates a gradual swing back to more typical weather with highs in the mid to upper 70s predicted for the coming weekend.
Adding to the chill, the National Weather Service forecasts northwest winds of 6 to 8 mph on New Year’s Day.
