Looks like a Cat 1 to me - kidding...

I was surprised to see Paloma's remnants SW of EYW - those tropical systems do take a long time to spin down, that's for sure...

As for the weekened front (per the NWS):

IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD, THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE
MARCHING SOUTHEAST AND WILL MOVE ACROSS S FLA SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE EXACT TIMING IS STILL UNCERTAIN AS THE GFS IS THE FASTEST
MODEL AND HAS THE FRONT EXITING THE SE CST EARLY SATURDAY EVENING
WHILE THE NAM DELAYS THE PASSAGE UNTIL EARLY SUNDAY. WITH SUCH A
STRONG AMPLIFICATION TO THE TROUGH TAKING PLACE, IT SEEMS THAT THE
FASTER GFS SEEMS A BETTER SOLUTION. AT ANY RATE, MUCH COOLER AND
LESS HUMID WX WILL FILTER ACROSS THE REGION ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. BY MONDAY MORNING, TEMPS WILL RANGE
FROM THE MID 40S IN GLADES COUNTY TO AROUND 60 ON THE SE CST. BOTH
THE GFS AND ECMWF THEN SHOW THIS LONG WAVE PATTERN TO PERSIST MUCH
OF THE WEEK WITH A SECOND SURGE OF COOL AIR EARLY TUESDAY. THIS
WILL KEEP S FLA COOL AND DRY FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

Remant circulation of Paloma 120 miles west of Tampa Bay, just
off west central Florida coast. No significant weather with it.

However, click on fronts, there is a strong low near texas- cold front low.
