Do you feel the cold?

“We’re going to experience our first type of true pseudo-cold front of the season today,” National Weather Service meteorologist Ana Torres-Vazquez said Friday morning as residents cleared porch frost as temperatures fell below 70 degrees. .

I’m joking about the frost. But after a year of constant heat advisories extending into late October, anything in the upper 60s in Miami or Broward feels like a chill.

Or relief.

Expect the same under generally dry skies for the weekend and through the work week, Torres-Vazquez said.

The cold front was over central Florida Friday morning and is expected to approach South Florida in the afternoon.

Between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., some areas could see “a thin line of very light, isolated showers,” Torres-Vazquez said.

The rain potential is 20%, with a few showers here and there as the front passes. But otherwise, the weather should be rather dry, forecasters estimate.

A coastal flood warning for Miami-Dade and Broward was issued by the weather service, but this is due to high tides and not torrential rain.

What to expect this weekend

How cold will it be? Temperatures dropped to 70 degrees Friday morning at the National Weather Service Miami office on Florida International University’s main campus in West Miami-Dade. Some areas reported 69 or 68, Torres-Vazquez said.

These lows could drop further over the weekend. Parts of Miami-Dade may once again only get down to 70, especially the closer you get to the coastline, according to the weather service.

“But in some parts further inland, perhaps in the Homestead area, and then further north along Broward and Palm Beach counties, temperatures could drop to between 65 and 69 overnight — a fresh brew for November at this point,” Torres-Vazquez said.

The Florida Keys will be a few degrees warmer at both ends of the week, ranging from highs in the 80s to lows in the mid-70s.

Comfort Saturday-Sunday: “Once this front passes through (Saturday) and it’s completely south of our region, it will be mostly northern air bringing in more cool air,” Torres-Vazquez said Friday. “So tomorrow, highs will struggle to get above 80 in much of the region. Very comfortable weekend for all with little to no risk of rain.

This “rather positive weather” is expected to continue until the start of the work week.

“We don’t really expect much of the usual weather that precedes a cold front, where it’s mostly overcast and rainy all day with lower temperatures,” Torres-Vazquez said.

Instead, expect “cooler temperatures, pleasant conditions, a great weekend in terms of rain and temperature.”

What’s coming on the rain side: There is some uncertainty because of Sara. Tropical Storm Sara is now expected to dissipate before reaching the Gulf of Mexico, reducing the potential future threat to Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Even so, after the blanket of dry air settles over South Florida and the Keys through Wednesday, the potential for moisture to return to the region from the remnants of Sara is possible.

“The models seem to think that no matter what happens in terms of tropical development or storms, some of this moisture could move into our region and lead to increased rain chances. That’s why you see these 30% odds from Wednesday to Thursday.

Coastal Flood Warning

“Friday’s full moon will be peak of king tides. Minor flooding will continue around high tides for the remainder of the weekend, but the highest tides are expected Friday,” CBS News Miami meteorologist Dave Warren said on Friday morning’s show.

The weather service’s Coastal Flood Advisory for Miami-Dade and Broward is in effect until 1 p.m. Sunday. The service also warns of a high risk of rip currents in the 7 p.m. slots from Friday to Sunday evening.

High tide times at Port Everglades: 7:30 p.m. Friday, 8:14 a.m. and 8:21 p.m. Saturday and 9:04 a.m. Sunday.

High tide times in Virginia Key: 8:14 p.m. Friday, 8:57 a.m. and 9:04 p.m. Saturday and 9:46 a.m. Sunday.

A coastal flood warning following concerns from salt water flooding for the Florida Keys, it’s until 5 p.m. Friday.
