dixie those lows are well east of Florida one north of PR by 400 miles and the other the exNicholas one around SE of Bermuda so nothing near the floridas coast.

Dixie, this is a baroclinic reaction to the energy transfer from one coast to the other. This happens a lot during cold air damming scenarios when the surface low cannot penetrate through a cooler dome of air at the surface and is forced by baroclinic means to spawn another surface low (or a transferral of energy).

I believe it's simply a cold front moving through. There's no cold air damming involved in Florida. Cold air damming occurs in mountainous areas, like east of the Apalachians when there is a stationary high center over New England.
However, if you'd like to learn about cold air damming, there's an excellent Comet course online:
