How low will it go with Florida’s cold front? Check out these forecast temperatures
The cold front has arrived — or, as CBS Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez calls it, a “cool front” because for Miami and the Keys we’re not talking diving into a mug of hot chocolate for relief.
When will coldest temperatures arrive?
George Rizzuto, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Miami, told the Miami Herald that the coldest temperatures will be Thursday night into Friday morning.

“The temperatures around the area tonight into early tomorrow will be the lower-50s near Lake Okeechobee and some interior regions [of South Florida] and then mid- to upper-60s as a low along the east coast areas,” Rizzuto said Thursday.
He’s referring to the existing front. There’s another that looks to bring some showers over the weekend into the holiday week. But that one “is not going to have a ton of cooler air behind it, so it looks like the the bigger cool-off is going to be with this front that just passed through.”
