Florida Chills: Winter Air Reaches the Keys

A robust cold front is poised to move through Florida, bringing a noticeable drop in temperatures that is expected to reach even the southernmost parts of the state, including the Keys. This Canadian-cooled air mass is forecast to arrive in the Panhandle by Sunday, January 11, with wind chill temperatures potentially plunging into the 20s during the early morning of Monday, January 12. Daytime highs in this region are only expected to reach the low 50s.

Further south, Florida's peninsula will also feel the cool air, though moderated. Low temperatures could dip into the upper 40s to mid-50s inland, with coastal areas experiencing slightly warmer lows in the lower 60s. Much of South Florida can anticipate daytime highs hovering around 70 degrees at the beginning of the week. This contrasts with recent record-breaking warmth that has dominated the region this month, with some areas experiencing temperatures up to 9 degrees warmer than average.
