It's hot! Miami breaks high temperature record in advance of cold front
MIAMI - The high temperature on Thursday topped out at 86 degrees, breaking a record that was originally set in 1908.
According to the National Weather Service, the high temperature of 85 that was set in the early 1900s has fallen.
But the good news is that a cold front from the north that was advancing towards South Florida is expected to bring much cooler weather to the region by as soon as Friday.
When you factor in the high humidity, it will feel like the upper 80s.
A few showers will be possible later in the day and tonight as the front moves in, however, the overall rain chance is low.
Friday morning we'll enjoy a cooler start with lows in the mid to upper 60s. With cooler, drier air in place, the humidity will drop and it will feel refreshing tomorrow. Friday afternoon we'll enjoy pleasant and more seasonable highs in the mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies.
Saturday morning we'll wake up with the coolest temperatures in the low 60s and some inland areas will likely fall to the upper 50s. Saturday afternoon highs will remain near normal in the upper 70s. It will still be cool Sunday morning with upper 60s and highs will warm to around 80 degrees. Early next week the rain chance increases a bit due to a weak front.
