Happy Thanksgiving 2025

Not a bad holiday weekend, but we will have a variety of weather. A weak cold front will move through the area today, keeping a low chance of showers and even a thunderstorm later today. Later on Thanksgiving we’ll see the winds pick up, with some gusts as high as 25 mph.

Overnight, temps will drop a bit, with a Black Friday low of 59°. A beautiful, cool day follows on Friday, with winds relaxing a bit and a high of 72°.

Saturday morning will not be as cool, with rain chances remaining near zero until the afternoon. It looks like a great day for the last FAU football game of the season, kicking off at 12:00 PM on Saturday against East Carolina, with a high of 78°.

By late Saturday afternoon, low rain chances return as the front moves north, and low-end lightning chances will be present through Sunday, with a high of 82°.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

11/11/25 – 7AM temperatures

These should be close to the lows of the day, most areas are below 50° in south Florida.

And around Central Florida, very cool as well. Here are the 7AM conditions:

And today is Veterans Day, thank you to all who have served our country,

11/9/2025 – Strong Cold Front Tuesday

Our first significant cold front of the season will sweep through on Monday, which will bring in colder temps for Tuesday morning, and many of us will see our first sub-50F morning since March.

As we go later in the week, we will quickly warm up as our lows remin in the 60s through Friday and highs will be around 80. Rain chances will return as we get into the latter part of the week.

Here is the risk of Extreme Cold for Tuesday and Tuesday night.

11/7/22 – Subtropical Storm Nicole 10pm Advisory – Tropical Storm Warning and Hurricane Watch in Effect for Broward

As of 10PM Nicole is slowly becoming better organized and is still expected to directly impact Florida’s east coast. With this advisory, a Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for a large part of the Florida east coast, including Broward county. The Hurricane Watch remains in effect.

Winds remain at 45 mph and the minimum pressure is 998 mb. Strengthening is expected tomorrow. There is little change to the forecasted track and intensity with this advisory.

For Broward and Palm Beach counties, the timeline remains with the approach of Nicole on Wednesday with increasing winds and more frequent rain. Wednesday night and early Thursday morning will be the peak of the conditions, then slow clearing Thursday afternoon and into the evening. This is still fluid and may change.

The latest satellite image is above, and this evening’s models are below.

I will Tweet the latest information tomorrow as Nicole transitions into a tropical system and the latest development with the storm.

11/7/22 Subtropical Storm Nicole Forms

Subtropical Storm Nicole has formed from the system I posted about last night. Max winds are 45 mph. Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for parts of the Bahamas. I would expect watches or warnings to be issued for parts of south Florida later today or tomorrow morning.

Impacts have not changed, strong gusty winds and rainfall up to five inches will affect the area starting late Tuesday through Thursday.

I will post updates through the day on Twitter and another post here this evening.

First advisory on Subtropical Storm Nicole.

11/6/22 Tropics Are Not Quiet – Wind and Rain Mid to Late Week for South Florida

Generally in November we do not see much activity, but this November has been different with just first the six days. We have had two hurricanes in the Atlantic, Lisa and Martin, and now we are expecting development of the system designated 98L.

With that said, we can expect rain and wind mid to late week. Expected conditions include sustained winds up to 30 mph and gusts to 45 mph (tropical storm force) along with rainfall totals of up to four inches.

This forecast will be refined as we go into the week, please stay tuned and check back. On to the graphics.

Area number one is the one we are watching for Florida impacts mid to late week.

Latest models from 7pm tonight. The models are in good agreement on the path, but we need to see if this track is maintained as the system develops.

Latest rainfall forecast through Sunday.

I will have an update Monday morning and may update via Twitter later this evening if needed.
