One More Cool Night

Good-bye cold ... Hello near average temps.

Cold front that brought us some record temps on Wednesday morning is weakening.

So many temps worthwhile mentioning from Wednesday, but not enough air time... so here is a complete rundown of how cold it was and which cities set new records.

This is how we woke up on Wednesday:
Pembroke Pines 46
Homestead 49
Kendall 52
Pompano Beach 52
Hialeah 53
Miami 55
Ft. Lauderdale 55
Marathon 58
Key West 61

New Records
Miami Beach 55 Old record 58 - 1943
Pompano Beach 52 Old record 56 - 1990
Naples 48 Old Record 51 - 1943
West Palm Beach 50 Old record 51 - 1944

We expect one more cool night, but by Thursday afternoon the easterly breeze will return and so our temperatures should slowly return to near average.

Time Change - Fall Back
On Sunday, November 2 (the first Sunday in November) at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States. This is the second year that Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer due to the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act, which extends Daylight Saving Time by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, is expected to save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours.
