A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect from 10 PM this evening
to 9 am EST Wednesday.
The coldest airmass so far this winter season will spread
southward across Mainland South Florida tonight. Temperatures are
expected to fall into the 30s over much of interior South
Florida and the Palm Beach Metro areas... and around 40 in coastal
Collier County. When coupled with northerly winds in the 5 to 10
mph range... these temperatures will result in wind chill values
between 25 and 35 degrees for several consecutive hours over most
of Mainland South Florida from late this evening until a few
hours after sunrise tomorrow. The only exception will be across
far South Miami-Dade County where low temperatures will not get
cool enough to meet advisory criteria... but will likely drop into
the 30s for at least a short time.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in
frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
If you must venture outdoors... make sure you wear a hat and
gloves.
And as always when we get these chilly temps......dry air mass sets up here and we have a Fire Weather Statement as well.
