We’ll feel a slight warming trend Friday and Saturday morning — with highs reaching 69 Friday afternoon and 67 Saturday afternoon, with lows in the mid 50s. That little warm-up will end later Saturday.
- Coldest point: We resume the 40s just after midnight and could hit the coldest point of this cold snap at 6 a.m. Sunday with an air temperature of 36 and a wind chill of 27 in the Miami area.
Sunday’s warmest point is expected at 3 p.m., when the high teases up to 52 before the rollercoaster heads to its next plunge.
- Second coldest point: The second coldest morning looks to be 6 a.m. Monday when Miami dips to 37 with a “feels-like” under freezing 30 degrees.
Monday’s warmest point is also forecast to be 3 p.m., when we should feel 59. The 30s are not expected on Tuesday when 44 degrees, with a 41 wind chill, is forecast at 6 a.m. It will reach into the mid-60s Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday’s range looks to be 56 in the early morning and 72 in the mid-afternoon.
