(This is an update to my weather forecast of 4 days ago.)

New Year’s Day – Temperatures will likely exceed 80°F before beginning the rapid plummet into the 70s, the 60s, and the 50s during the afternoon and evening hours.

Wed. Jan. 02ND – Expect an early-morning low temperature in the upper-40s; however, wind-chills will be in the mid-30s !  Mostly Sunny, Windy, and Cold for the remainder of the day. We may not hit the 60°F mark, and wind-chills will make it feel like it’s in the upper-40s to lower-50s all day long !  It will be our coldest day here in Homestead since February 16TH 2007.

Weather Alert: Get Ready For An Arctic Chill In Florida !

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.

South Florida Weather For Christmas

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.

A.C. Off !

I turned off my A.C. tonight for the first time since I returned home from vacation on the day after Thanksgiving. It’s already down into the lower-60s outside right now (as of 9:30 PM), and in about 9 hours I am expecting the temperature to bottom out at a nice frigid 48°F early tomorrow morning. I’ll be wearing a jacket to work in the morning. We won’t even hit 70°F during the day tomorrow, and wind chills will remain below 60°F for much of the day.

Winter has arrived (at least for a day) here in Homestead.
