South Floridians woke up to crisp temperatures Tuesday morning: 48 in Fort Lauderdale and the low 40s in Palm Beach County. Though it won’t stay quite that cool through the week, overnight temperatures should stay refreshingly cool, and daytime temperatures quite pleasant.
Evening lows in the coastal Fort Lauderdale area should be 61 on Tuesday and 65 through Thursday, while days should be mostly sunny and breezy, with temperatures in the mid 70s.
In the western suburbs, overnight lows will be slightly cooler through the week, as low as 55 on Tuesday and 60 through Thursday. Days will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid to high 70s.
The weekend throughout the region looks good. Temperatures will continue to warm a tad, with overnight lows in the high 60s and daytime temperatures in the low 80s. It’ll be mostly sunny with slightly less wind.
The warming will be the result of changing winds, said National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Fisher.
The cold air mass that rolled in from Canada on Monday night was carried on winds from the north-northwest.
Those winds were set to shift Tuesday afternoon to be from the north-northeast, thus pulling in warmer moist air from the Atlantic Ocean.
