Happy New Years and It Will be Cold
By now you know it is cold. Currently 42F in Pompano and 45F here at weather central. My forecast low for the airport (PMP) is 36F and there will be patchy frost around.
Interesting discussion from the NWS in Miami. In the past 40 years or so there have only been two other occasions where there has been such a thick layer of cold here at the bottom of the atmosphere in south Florida. The great freeze of 1977 and in 1989. Pretty interesting since that was the year it snowed in Miami/Pompano Beach (1977) and 1989 was the last time there was any mention of flurries in south Florida which did not occur.
Stay warm and I will be back tomorrow with a recap of the cold.
