South Florida Braces for a Brief, Brisk Break

South Florida is in for a quick chill. A cold front is sweeping in, bringing the first real chill of the season. By the early hours of November 11, temperatures in parts of Palm Beach County could feel like the 30s, thanks to strong winds. The coast will see lows in the mid- to upper 40s, while areas near Lake Okeechobee might drop to the lower 40s. Winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, will make it feel even colder. This cold snap is a result of Arctic air sneaking into the region through a break in the polar vortex. But don't worry, it won't last long. By November 12, temperatures will bounce back to the mid- and upper 70s. The coldest part will be overnight on November 10 and the early hours of November 11. After that, things will start to warm up again. This cold front is a reminder of how quickly weather can change. It's also a chance for people to experience temperatures they haven't felt since March. The last time it was this cold was on March 18, when temperatures dipped into the 50s. The weather service has issued a cold weather advisory for inland Palm Beach County from 4 to 9 a. m. on November 11. Temperatures near Lake Okeechobee are expected to drop into the mid-30s. However, there are no plans to open cold weather shelters in Palm Beach County as of November 10. Shelters usually open when temperatures stay below 40 degrees for a long time. So, grab a jacket and enjoy the brief chill. It won't last long, but it's a good reminder to be prepared for anything when it comes to weather.
