South Florida braces for a chilly cold front and scattered showers

In South Florida, temperatures are expected to be cooler as a cold front approaches the region. On Presidents Day, which falls on February 17, 2025, residents can anticipate highs in the upper 70s, with a cloudy sky and a slight chance of isolated showers. The following day, February 18, 2025, scattered showers are forecasted, especially in the afternoon and evening, as temperatures climb to the low 80s. Despite these rains, the area is in a moderate drought, making the precipitation beneficial. By February 19, 2025, the warmest day of the week is expected, with temperatures reaching low 80s but only a 10% chance of rain. Following this, the weather is set to cool down again, with lows in the upper 60s later in the week and highs reaching the upper 70s as a strong cold front moves in. By February 21, 2025, the temperatures will drop significantly, with morning lows in the 50s in Broward and Miami-Dade. The expected chilly and breezy conditions will continue into the weekend, where temperatures will range from the low 60s at night to the mid to upper 70s during the day. Residents are advised to take precautions due to the potential for rip currents along the Atlantic beaches.
