Miami Weather: Cooler Temps Ahead Of Mild Thanksgiving Day

MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- South Florida woke up to chilly temperatures Wednesday, with mostly mid-to-upper 50s across the region.

As the winds shift to the northeast, clouds and even a light shower are possible Wednesday evening.

With the change in wind direction, however, temperatures will be milder overnight and Thursday.

Lows will remain above 60 degrees with areas near the coast hovering near 70 degrees.

There is a dangerously high risk of rip currents due to the strong onshore winds and a small craft advisory for boaters due to hazardous marine conditions.

Thanksgiving Day will be milder with highs climbing to near 80 degrees. Our area will see a mix of sun and clouds. Spotty showers will be possible mainly in the morning before moving inland. Expect a pleasant evening with temperatures staying at or just above 70 degrees.

Friday will be warmer with highs near 80 degrees. Stray showers will be possible Friday into Saturday.

Late Sunday a cold front will sweep in and usher in slightly cooler air.

By Monday morning, our area will be waking up to lows near 60 degrees and highs in the mid to upper 70s.
