Weather alert: Cool Yule? Nope. Christmas week warm and windy in South Florida

If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, white hot will be more like it.

South Florida temperatures, which cooled over the weekend in the 60s, are on the rise Monday.

“It’s going to be very un-Christmas-like weather,” said Alrena Moses, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

"Over the weekend we enjoyed a nice cool snap. That snap is now over," said CBS4 meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez.

Expect highs in the mid-80s this week, with lows in the mid-70s, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday also is starting out with rain, which will stick around into Tuesday.

But there’s some good news:

The rain chance of 30-40 percent forecast at the start of the week will diminish to 10 percent by Christmas Eve and Day.

But wind also will continue, with gusts blowing at 23 mph and the breeze continuing through Christmas Day and Kwanzaa.
