The new year is starting off warm across South Florida before another front arrives in the area and brings a needed cooldown.

Hot, hazy, and humid sounds like a summer forecast but that’s what continues through South Florida. Monday, both Fort Lauderdale and Miami had heat index readings around 87 by midday.

The front approaches Thursday so a few showers are possible. It will pass during the evening and overnight time frame allowing temps by Friday morning to fall into a cooler low to mid-60 range.

Lingering but widely scattered showers are possible Friday, post front but the most noticeable thing will be the drop in the humidity for the weekend.
