You may soon need to wear a sweater or two to stay warm in South Florida.

After this Sunday’s Life Time Miami Marathon and Half, when temperature highs are expected in the lower 80s, a cold front is forecast to bring chilly weather to Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach.

When will the cold front arrive? How long will the cold snap last?

Here’s the latest update from the National Weather Service in Miami:

The front is set to arrive Sunday evening in South Florida, bringing with it below-average temperatures. But a few days later, it will start warming up again.

Sunday:

The beginning of the cooldown will be felt starting early Monday morning, with lows in the lower to mid-50s. In Palm Beach County, near Lake Okeechobee, expect lows in the high 40s. A mostly sunny day is forecast with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Tuesday
