Nov. 11: Spotty thunderstorms develop today ahead of Friday’s cold front

The forecast today is more like a September afternoon. High temperatures will be in the middle 80s with a heat index around 90°. This will fuel a round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. While most storms will behave, an isolated storm could be strong with gusty winds and brief heavy rain. Some lighter showers may linger into tonight. Tomorrow is expected to be similar.A strong cold front is still expected to sweep through South Florida in the middle of Friday. This will start dropping temperatures fast in the evening. A steady fall through the 60s is expected Friday night with upper 50s by Saturday morning. This is our first significant temperature drop of the season. Highs on Saturday will struggle to reach the low 70s even with full sunshine and no chance of rain.
