How long is the cold staying in Miami? Will it be warm on New Year’s? What forecast says
When will South Florida get warmer?
It’s feeling more like Seattle than South Florida,” CBS Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez told viewers Tuesday morning. “And It’s still soggy out there.”
Forecasters say another chilly and soggy start will give way to the upper-60s on Tuesday afternoon. After days of dreary, bone-chilling 40s, that’s welcome news.
“After three consecutive days of sub-60-degree temps in Miami, first since 1977, we will finally warm back up into the 60s today,” the National Weather Service said in a post on Twitter. “We will see the dreary pattern finally begin to break down, and if we are lucky, we will even see the sun peek out this afternoon.”
By Wednesday, the sun will be back fully, and afternoon highs will reach the mid-70s, according to the weather service. By New Year’s weekend, the 80s will be back. Gonzalez said South Florida could see “record warmth” for the holiday.
