Record Highs may return for South Florida!

[Burn1]

Back to a continuation of what has been happening to the folks in S. Florida most of the winter

Temperatures on Friday will be close to record highs along the East Coast
areas with middle to upper 80s. Here are some of the forecast highs
and the records for the East Coast metropolitan areas for Friday.


Cites forecast high record high


Miami International Airport 86 87 (1902)
Fort Lauderdale international Airport 85 86 (1985)
Palm Beach International Airport 86 88 (1985)
Pompano Beach 84 86 (1991)
Miami Beach 82 81 (1972)

Actually it's interesting to see those records from 1985 as record to near record lows were set in Ft. Laud/Palm Beach in Jan 85... Actually I was in Gainesville mid Jan 85 and it got down to 11 degrees

And unfortunately the forecast for Super Sunday is not as nice as earlier this week.
Front coming through, wind picking up and maybe some rain with falling temps.
I wish the mid 80'a would be here 2 days later!!

Not that I put much merit in the GFS but it may be pushed up till Monday. At least the bulk of the rain. As for much cooler by Wendsday. I'll believe it, when I feel it.

It will be cooler in S FL, but actually the Euro model has trended warmer, compared to its run a couple of days ago when it was indicating a deep freeze scenario all the way down to central FL, so I feel more confident that we will not see any colder weather than we have already seen a couple of days ago. Hopefully the center of the high coming down next week will stay to the north of FL, so that we stay with at least a moderating NNE wind instead of NNW winds.

Not sure about Peyton Manning's chances with winds out of the N and NE at 20mph with gusts to 35mph for Superbowl Sun...

That would give the Bears the edge.

Sunday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 62. Windy, with a northeast wind around 23 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph

[Patrick99]

From early last week to now, I don't believe I've ever seen the warmth and humidity return so quickly. Everything was soggy this morning, and it took half my commute for my car to de-fog.

[HURRICANELONNY]

As for the models. I don't even know why they talk about them. They always trend a different way. This year everytime warmer. We had freezes down in S. Fl plenty of times this year but the only problem is it wasn't reality. They need to tweek these computers or stop talking about them. I think the weather for Super Bowl will be partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers. Somewhat breezy out of the NE.

I'm in the mood to post on my old winter cancel thread that I started in early January. I agree hurricanelonnie Partly Cloudy with a 20% chance of showers, no rain out. Screw the models.

[HURRICANELONNY]

Bring on Hurricane Season!

[gatorcane]

Hurricane season starts in less than 3 months folks....

Tick, tock, tick, tock....

[NDG]

You mean in less than 4 months.

Bring on Hurricane Season!

Season Cancel!!!

it's 90 officially at fortlauderdale smashing a record for the date

bTW i hope the high sets up so the winds are nw so the surf is clean and big in palm beach- delray ps (boca is always smaller ) but the models and forecasts seem to be saying otherwise (at least for now)

Right now? In early February?

I don't think I'm ready for that yet!

[gatorcane]

West Palm Beach reached 87F.

Unbelievable.

[Scorpion]

Alot of locations reached 88 or 89 around here today

Should we be looking for any tropical activity brewing....?

It's a stark contrast over 720 miles. In Knoxville, TN right now it is 34 degrees. Atlanta has 44, and in FL it's in the 80s and near 90 south with 60s and 70s north. That's a 50 to 56 degree difference over 720 miles, and 20 to 30 degrees from north to south in Florida alone! And where is the cold front? Slicing right through Florida.

[Janie2006]

The cold front is well-represented on Doppler radar across Florida.

42*F here at the moment. I'm thinking the low will bottom out around 30*F.

South Florida usually escapes the brunt of arctic blasts that affect the Eastern CONUS. This time will be no different. The lowest we may get is about 50-55 here in the Boca Raton-Delray Beach-West Palm Beach area.

But the rest of Florida will see quite a difference in temperatures early next week. For example, Tampa, which is only 230 miles NW of South Florida metro areas on the west coast of Florida will see lows in the lows 40s to even upper 30s inland and north of the metro area.....

Contrast that with lows only in the low 60s for South Florida and dropping down into the low 50s by mid week for a couple of days.
