South Florida Cold Snap Is Overhyped -> Much Warmer
Not sure how many are from S. Florida here (I'm in Boca Raton) but I'm really over the media spreading word that we will be seeing near freezing temperatures across Palm Beach County.
It's not going to happen!
I'm hearing people here in South Palm Beach County saying "get ready for the 30s!" We'll see temps here tonight in the mid to upper 40s with the clouds hanging around and maybe the lower 40s tomorrow night when the clouds *should* break
Anybody with me on this?

Yes! I was just saying this in another thread. Every time they say "Freeze warning" you can bet it won't. Only when they say it will get into the upper 20's can you bet on a freeze. It got down to 38-39 here last night. No where near freezing. With the wind chill it was quite cold but I get tired of hearing all the hype too.

It has been warmer and more humid in my area this winter than it used to be in past years. Also, my area has seen less clearer weather and more stalling fromts. Even some of the strongest fronts has stalled and not made it past southern Florida. Also, even the very rare coldest air behind fronts my area has had this year (like now) has not stayed as long as it used to in past years.
Has anyone in southern Florida (or Palm Beach County) noticed this?

Tonight is going to be the Coldest Night so far.
Clearing should come over the area along with light and variable winds. Radiational Cooling will make the thermometer drop like a rock.
They were forecasting 28 for Slidell this morning, we hit 23.
I think the freeze line will probably get down to Tampa across to Melbourne. If your near the coast, expect upper 30's. Inland may reach a 30.

True... however, you are not in my area. You are in Louisiana.

Speaking of hype... that will wind up being overhyped as well. At best, that looks like a brief cold snap like this one.

hmm .... What would it be called if the onshorewind off the water around florida was causeing snow because it was cold enough? Here it is called lake effect. Would it be called lake effect there also, if it happened??
that did actually happen in 2003. The east coast of Florida saw some "Ocean effect" flurries. 30s in Florida is actually quite common during the winter in the northern 2/3rds of the state, and usuallu occur every winter or every other winter for south Florida. In Tallahassee, Fl (in panhandle) the low has reached -2 degrees in 1899 (all-time state low). In Central Florida, Orlando has reached 19 and in south Florida, even Miami has hit the mid 20s before (and in 1977 there was even light snow in Miami). The state record snowfall is 4" set in Milton, Fl during the 1950s.

That was a once in a lifetime event! I remeber hearing my parents telling me about that. And one time a few years back they said it was snowing, I went outside and it was like a few microscopic flakes for about 5 minutes. So you are right it does not snow in Florida. And it rarley freezes here in Orlando(central FL). I think it did once or twice last year, and it is unusual for it to freeze more than 8 times in a season here. North Florida gets alot colder than central and south florida.

Whats that "manually fix" thing about in the quotes? I didn't write/do that. How did it get there and what does it mean?
