It now appears that weather systems across North America are getting ready to align that will throw Florida (and virtually all of the United States east of the Mississippi River) into an Arctic airmass to start off the new year.
NEXT WEDNESDAY (January 02ND) appears to be the coldest day with maximum afternoon high temperatures only in the low-to-mid-60s here in South Florida / mid-50s in Central Florida / low-50s in North Florida. Minimum early-morning low temperatures (next Thursday morning) could drop down to the mid-40s in South Florida / mid-30s in Central Florida / mid-20s in North Florida.
The frigid air is expected to last about 2 to 3 days before the next warming trend commences.
If you’re headed south to South Florida for Christmas then come on down. We are open for business.
Our weather for the next week will be quite nice and stable. You can expect lots of sunshine, low humidity, light easterly breezes, and afternoon high temperatures right around the 80°F mark with early morning temperatures dropping down to the lower-60s. No rain and no cold fronts are expected over the next 7 days.

The Road Rage Files – Chapter 17
If you tried to drive anywhere within the cities of Homestead and Florida City this morning right around Lunch time then I’m guessing that you were stuck in the same ridiculous situation as me.
A construction crew accidentally cut a natural gas line located under Campbell Drive near the overpass of Florida’s Turnpike this morning, and that caused authorities to completely shut-down the southern 5 miles of the Turnpike from Biscayne Drive down to the terminus at Useless-One in Florida City as a precautionary measure.
That caused MASSIVE gridlock like I’ve never seen before in my life on Biscayne Drive (SW 288TH Street), Avocado Drive (SW 296TH Street), Kings Highway (SW 304TH Street), Campbell Drive (SW 312TH Street), Farm Life School Road (SW 162ND Avenue), and Useless-One (U.S. 1) which truly lived up to its name as it was pretty much a 10 to 15 MPH logjam of continuous vehicles northbound and southbound from Florida City to Homestead to Leisure City to Naranja Lakes and beyond.
Florida’s Turnpike eventually re-opened early this afternoon, but the damage was already done. At least all of the tourists got to take a nice slow look around our area while crawling along on Useless-One. Stop by for a longer visit next time around. Spend some money in our fine stores. Eat at our wonderful restaurants. It’s good for our economy !
