Miami, FL – A rare cold weather advisory is in effect across inland areas of South Florida, with temperatures expected to drop significantly overnight.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory will remain active from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday, impacting Inland Broward County, Glades, Hendry, Palm Beach, and Collier counties. Wind chills could range between 30 and 35 degrees, which is uncommon for the region.
Residents in affected areas are urged to take precautions against the cold. Prolonged exposure to such low temperatures can lead to hypothermia. The National Weather Service advises wearing warm clothing, including hats and gloves, and limiting time outdoors during the advisory period.
This cold front has brought a drastic change to South Florida’s typically mild winter climate, prompting local officials to encourage preparations, especially for vulnerable populations. Agricultural areas in Glades and Hendry counties are also on alert for potential crop damage.
Temperatures are expected to rise after 8 a.m. Saturday, bringing some relief to the region. However, residents should remain cautious until then. For updated weather information, visit the National Weather Service website or tune in to local alerts.
