In South Florida, warmer weather is likely to continue throughout the week leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. Morning temperatures are expected to dip into the lower 60s inland while coastal regions will remain near 70 degrees as milder breezes arrive. The afternoons will see high temperatures climbing to the middle 80s as humidity remains stable and dry conditions prevail. However, a series of cold fronts will approach the area over the weekend, bringing with them a few scattered showers on Saturday before drier air takes hold. As the first front passes, temperatures will drop slightly, resulting in cooler yet drier air flowing into the region. By Sunday, expect gusty north winds and temperatures plunging to about the lower 50s by Monday morning, with some areas possibly dipping into upper 40s. This shift in weather patterns marks the beginning of a colder spell across the region. While the upcoming week will feature chilly mornings and pleasant afternoons, the consistent drop in temperatures signifies a notable change, especially for residents accustomed to warmer weather. Additionally, the end of hurricane season is forecasted to conclude quietly with no expected activity through the end of the month, indicating a respite from extreme weather conditions.
