Florida greets the morning with an unexpected bite. Palm fronds sway lightly, and cool air settles across South Florida neighborhoods before sunrise. Temperatures dip into the mid to upper 40s across Miami, a rare-feeling chill for February that quickly gets attention.
This cool start doesn’t last long. Sunshine dominates today as a dry breeze from the northwest moves through the region. Winds reach 15 to 20 mph at times, especially near Biscayne Bay and along exposed roadways like I-95, U.S. 1, and the MacArthur Causeway. Commuters may notice a sharper wind chill early, though skies stay clear and dry.
By afternoon, temperatures rebound into the mid to upper 60s, making the day feel far more comfortable than the morning suggested. Tonight remains mostly clear, but lows only fall into the mid-50s, signaling a steady warming trend.
Saturday brings classic South Florida winter weather. Sunshine returns, winds relax, and highs climb into the low to mid-70s. The air feels dry and pleasant, ideal for outdoor plans. Sunday stays mostly sunny and warm, with highs near 70 degrees, and even milder nights.
Meteorologists are now watching a broader pattern shift. While much of the eastern U.S. faces snow, wind, and Arctic cold, South Florida sits on the warm side of the jet stream. By Monday and Tuesday, highs rise into the low to mid-70s, with overnight lows climbing into the 60s.
No rain is expected through the weekend, but breezy mornings continue at times. Dress in layers early, secure loose outdoor items, and plan for quick temperature changes. February may start cool, but springlike weather is already knocking. Feeling the chill this morning, or enjoying the cool-down?
