[MiamiensisWx]

This thread is similar to the former thread for upcoming southern cold and the new thread on the same thing for the deep southern U.S. This thread, however, is a new one for incoming cold for southern Florida this winter. Maps, discussions, models, and other things are welcome!

It is supposed to get cold in southern Florida tonight and tomorrow, including in Palm Beach and Broward counties. A freeze watch is now out for interior southern Florida...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MIAMI HAS ISSUED A FREEZE WATCH...
WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT.
STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BRING MUCH COLDER AIR INTO SOUTH FLORIDA
WITH TEMPERATURES TONIGHT EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE MID TO UPPER
40S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...EXCEPT LOWERS 50S MOSTLY ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE SOUTHEAST COAST. NORTHWEST WINDS AT 10 TO 15 MPH WILL
COMBINE WITH THESE TEMPERATURES TO PRODUCE WIND CHILLS FROM THE
MID 30S AROUND THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION TO THE LOWER 40S ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST METRO AREAS SUNDAY MORNING.

SUNDAY WILL BE QUITE COOL WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE UPPER 50S
INTERIOR AND WEST WITH LOWER 60S EXTREME SOUTHEAST.

ON SUNDAY NIGHT...THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE FROM THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO EASTWARD. SKIES WILL BE
CLEAR WITH NEAR CALM WINDS AND STRONG RADIATION COOLING WILL OCCUR.
BEFORE SUNRISE MONDAY MORNING...FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN PORTIONS OF GLADES, HENDRY, EASTERN COLLIER, WESTERN
BROWARD AND WESTERN PALM BEACH COUNTIES.

OVER THE REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA...INCLUDING THE SOUTHEAST METRO
AREAS AND NAPLES...TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO
AROUND 40 MONDAY MORNING. LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR SKIES, AND SUFFICIENT
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COULD RESULT IN PATCHY FROST DEVELOPING OVER
THE WESTERN SUBURBS OF PALM BEACH, BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTIES
AS WELL AS IN THE AREAS EAST OF NAPLES. IN WESTERN MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY...NEAR THE REDLANDS AND HOMESTEAD...PATCHY FROST MAY OCCUR
THERE AS WELL.

SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE TUESDAY MORNING.

THOSE WITH SENSITIVE PLANTS...THAT CAN EXPERIENCE DAMAGE AT 40
DEGREES OR BELOW...ARE ADVISED TO MAKE PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT
SENSITIVE PLANTS. ALL SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION.
SHOULD THIS FORECAST TREND CONTINUE...FREEZE WARNINGS OR FROST
ADVISORIES WILL BECOME NECESSARY.

A FREEZE WATCH MEANS SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE.
THESE CONDITIONS COULD KILL CROPS AND OTHER SENSITIVE VEGETATION.

Don't worry everyone... southern Florida will get a solid, cold winter, likely even colder than what the NWS in Miami is predicting!
