A low-slung winter storm pushing east from New Mexico will reach South Florida late Sunday, tumbling overnight temperatures into the 40s and 50s through mid-week.
It’s the fifth cold front to sweep the region this month bringing notable temperature swings in West Palm Beach that included an 87-degree record high on Jan. 12 and a 48-degree low on Jan. 21.
On average, West Palm Beach doesn’t see its normal daytime high reach 87 degrees until late May.
“There hasn’t been a lot in the middle as far as temperature, it’s just been really warm or cool,” said Luke Culver, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami. “But we haven’t gotten one really cold shot so the winter low temperature may be on the high side.”
