Temps will drop tonight

By Ken Kaye
11:49 AM EST, December 1, 2008With more cool air flowing into South Florida, temperatures were expected to
drop into the low to mid 50s by tonight across the metro areas, the National
Weather Service in Miami said.

Today's forecast also calls for cloudy
skies, a 20 percent chance of rain and afternoon temperatures in the mid
70s.

The rest of the week should be cool and mostly sunny. The coldest
point was expected to be Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, when the mercury
was forecast to dip into the low 50s in Broward County and the upper 40s in Palm
Beach County. Temperatures should be cooler yet far inland, possibly dropping
into the upper 30s near Lake Okeechobee, the weather service
said.

Afternoon highs on Tuesday were predicted to be in the upper 60s in
West Palm Beach and the lower 70s in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, the weather
service said.

Central and North Florida also should be shivering by
Tuesday night, as temperatures were forecast to drop into the low 40s in
Orlando, the upper 30s in Tallahassee and the mid 30s in Pensacola.

The
cool snap comes courtesy of two cold fronts, one that passed over South Florida
on Sunday and one that is currently over Central Florida and headed this way,
weather service meteorologist Brad Diehl said.

Until the second front
passes through, this region can expect a lot of low-level clouds and isolated
showers, not heavy downpours similar to those that fell on Sunday, he
said.

"It's more annoying than anything else," he said.

The same
cold fronts already have plunged much of the nation's mid-section into the deep
freeze. Temperatures plunged to 18 degrees in Chicago, 28 degrees in Nashville
and 25 degrees in St. Louis this morning.
