Miami, FL – South Florida residents are being urged to prepare for freezing conditions and dangerous marine hazards overnight into Monday morning as a strong cold front sweeps through the region.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Miami, a Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for inland Collier, Hendry, Glades, and Palm Beach counties from 12 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday.

The NWS advises small boat operators to avoid marine travel until winds and waves subside by Monday afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to rebound slightly Tuesday, but another chilly morning could follow before gradual warming midweek.
