Cold Front Brings Chilly Temperatures to Florida

South Florida is bracing for a significant drop in temperatures as a cold front sweeps through the region, with highs expected in the mid-70s before plunging into the 40s by Friday night. Meteorologists predict brisk northwest winds will contribute to a chilly atmosphere, with lows in the 40s and 50s persisting through the weekend. Central Florida will experience similar conditions, with temperatures expected to struggle to reach the upper 60s by Thursday, marking the coldest weather since late winter. Meanwhile, a weak La Niña is anticipated to form in December, which may lead to a warmer and drier winter across South Florida, following a wetter El Niño year. The Army Corps of Engineers is closely monitoring Lake Okeechobee levels amid concerns from local stakeholders regarding water supply management. Residents are advised to prepare for the cooler conditions and stay updated on local forecasts.
