Some of the coldest air of the season will continue to plunge south tonight. If temperatures drop to 34 degrees, it would be the coldest air we’ve seen in 36 years. If Miami falls to 35 degrees, it would be the coldest since 2015.

Regardless, this potential record cold should be taken seriously. A cold weather advisory and a wind advisory are in effect for coastal Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Dress in layers, as strong northwest winds will make it feel like the low to mid-20s.

Sunday afternoon temperatures will remain below normal, with highs only reaching the lower 50s. We’ll do it all over again Monday, with morning temperatures in the 30s and afternoon highs in the 50s. A gradual warmup is expected later in the week.

Over the next two mornings, be sure to dress appropriately, check on your neighbors, and protect pets and plants from the extreme cold.
