Sudden Shift from Heatwave to Icy Grip Hits South Florida.
A scorching heatwave that gripped Miami and Fort Lauderdale on Monday has come to a jarring end, with temperatures plummeting into the cold. The region experienced record-breaking highs of 88 degrees Fahrenheit, prompting residents to don shorts and flip-flops just days ago. However, as a cold front swept in from the north, a bitter chill began to bite.
Gusty winds are now set to arrive on Tuesday morning, sending the mercury plummeting further. Even during the day, with plenty of sunshine illuminating the sky, temperatures will struggle to rise above the mid-50s. The respite is short-lived, as a new cold front will bring an end to any hopes of warming up on Wednesday.
This weekend promises to be the coldest yet, with forecasters warning of frigid temperatures that could drop into the 30s – a potential record low that would see temperatures plummeting faster than expected. With winter's strongest cold front set to descend upon south Florida, residents are being advised to bundle up and prepare for the chilly conditions ahead.
The rapid shift from heatwave to icy grip has left many feeling disoriented, with just days ago it seemed like a typical January day in Miami. As the weather continues to evolve, one thing is certain – this week will be defined by the biting cold that's taking over south Florida.

. South Florida isn't exactly known for being cold but I guess this is what happens when the jet stream gets all messed up. Can we get a weather forecast that actually gives us some warning about how long these crazy temperature swings are gonna happen?
i was literally at school yesterday and everyone was sweating buckets because it was so hot... now my friends are all like brrr let me just grab a sweater from home lol meanwhile i'm trying to get some studying done for our exam this weekend but ugh its hard when ur hands are all numb 
South Floridians go from flip flops to parkas in 2 days 
Crazy! I'm not sure what's more shocking - the temperature drop or how quickly we adapted to it 
. I love how nature just throws us for a loop like this. It's crazy to think about how quickly our weather can change. I'm both excited and annoyed that I have to start digging out my winter gear again 
! One day it's 88 degrees and you're rockin' those flip-flops, next day it's like -3
