PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — A strong cold front is expected to clear South Florida Monday afternoon, leading to a chilly change.

A noticeable cooldown is expected behind the front with overnight wind chills dropping to the 40s across Miami and Broward metro coastal areas Monday night into early Tuesday morning.

Winds will enhance out of a northwesterly direction Monday afternoon before veering northerly on Tuesday, and northeasterly by Wednesday. Waves will build across all local waters, with the highest values being observed in the Gulf Stream on Tuesday.

The “polar plunge” is bringing potentially record-setting lake effect snow to Chicago.

An intense but narrow band could dump three or more inches an hour there -- too much for snow removal workers to keep up with.

Forecasters say the wind could cause near-zero visibility at its peak.
