Meteorological Winter starts in 5 days - What cities in the USA have not had lows under 40 F? (warmest, history)

[Snowbird100]

Conflicting data for Orlando from NWS !

From Central West Tampa area map: Orlando 34F 10:55pm

From Central East Melbourne area map: Orlando 45F 10:53pm

Don't know which number is right !

Fort Myers yesterday: 45F NWS CF6

Having said that, the overnight low was this morning but NWS hasn't displayed it until tomorrow. It was 44F at 7:53 am when I checked it.

However, Wunderground has lots of stations (for reference only as I would like to use NWS). I randomly checked those stations which already recorded the overnight low (this morning) as low as around 35F to 41F depending on which stations I checked.

So there might be a good chance Fort Myers migh be off the list when NWS displays the data tomorrow.

Naples: 45F at 7:53am this morning NWS, similar pattern as Fort Myers
Wunderground: Depending on which stations I checked, one station (Golden Gate) recorded an overnight low of 30.4F, yes below freezing ! Another station recorded 43.1 this morning.
So we'll have to wait till tomorrow morning for NWS


As for Orlando NWS CF6: 41F as of midnight last night, but it should be off the list when NSW displays today's data tomorrow (lowest temp was early this morning)

Don't have NWS CF6 data yet as it's still Sun Dec 23 but I managed to get the following low:

Wunderground, WPB:
According to Wunderground, it states "December calendar view (KPBI)". KPBI is Palm Beach International Airport.
Dec 23 Actual: Low (as of Sun night but before midnight) 46F

I will check the NWS CF6 low Mon morning for Sun Dec 23 to see if it is indeed 46F. If not, then there's a discrepancy between the NWS's KPBI and Wunderground's KPBI data.

Will see ...

Orlando got down to 38F this morning

[Snowbird100]

All numbers are NWS CF6: Dec 22/Dec 23

Orlando: 41F/33F <-- Off the list

Melbourne: 39F/35F <-- Off the list

Fort Myers: 45F/39F <-- Off the list
As predicted, the lows of Fort Myers is lower than WPB in general.

Naples: 45F/42F (spared)
As predicted Naples & WPB are comparable and it will be interesting to see which city will be first off the list.

WPB: 43F/46F (spared)
Don't have CF6 data for Stuart, it might still be above 40F

St Pete: 51F/52F (spared)
Surprised that St Pete is so warm, surrounded by water !

Tampa: 43F/42F (spared)

Fort Lauderdale: 46F/50F
Miami: 48F/52F
Marathon: 54F/59F
Key West: 59F/57F

Additional cities:

Vero Beach: 38F/39F
Fort Pierce: 36F/37F

Sarasota: 40F/37F
Punta Gorda: 40F/32F Surprised it's so cold, just N of North Fort Myers

Summary for FL:
Only SE FL (WPB and southward), St Pete/Tampa and Naples (not Fort Myers) remain on the list !

Texas: NWS CF6 data

McAllen: 41 (12/21)
Wow ! It barely made it

Brownsville: 46 (12/12 & 21)
Popular destination for Canadians I think (I talked to a couple who lives somewhere 2 or 3 hours North of Toronto, he has a big 35' 5th wheel and tows it to Brownsville every winter)

Port Isabel: 45 (12/21)

Corpus Christi: 29 (12/21) <-- Off the list
Surprised it's so cold

Galveston: 41 (12/21)

McAllen might drop below 40 F this week.

I am quoting myself.

NWS CF6 number was indeed 46F (Dec 23) for WPB.

Wunderground's KPBI and NWS's KPBI are the same.

Miami is an 11A zone. It probably won't drop below 40F, as the Keys. The rest of South Floida has a reasonable shot.

Houston, TX 68F right NOW
