A new cold front will arrive in South Florida midweek, following a Sunday with dry and pleasant temperatures due to the formation of a high-pressure system in the region.
This Sunday has been filled with abundant sunshine and maximum temperatures of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 degrees Celsius), following a week with the coldest temperatures in the last two years in the region.
But this "truce" will be short-lived, lasting only until Monday, as a new storm system forming in the Gulf of Mexico will bring another cold front to the peninsula, resulting in a significant drop in temperatures.
According to meteorologist Brandon Orr from Local 10, this front will bring another mass of cold air.
The Meteorological Prediction Center of the National Weather Service reported that a new surge of Arctic air is expected to cover much of the eastern half of the United States until the middle of next week, before milder temperatures return briefly toward the end of the week.
On Tuesday, minimum temperatures should be around 60 °F (15.6 °C). The following day, they will drop to 55 °F (12.8 °C), and by Thursday morning, the thermometers will be around 50 °F (10 °C).
Last Monday, a cold front arrived in Florida, which was followed by a frigid blast of Arctic air that set temperature records.
In other parts of the country, a strong winter storm that had been hitting since the weekend, with heavy snowfall and freezing winds, caused the cancellation of 1,300 flights and delays of hundreds more.
The large wave of snow, wind, ice, and low temperatures caused dangerous travel conditions from the central and southern United States to the East Coast, where hundreds of drivers had to be rescued from the roads by the National Guard.
