Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:08:27 GMT

A warmer and more humid air mass will continue to stream in ahead of a cooling, fall front, which will arrive Monday afternoon. Ahead of this front, high temperatures will soar well above average into the mid to upper 80s but it will feel more like the low 90s due to the high humidity.Unlike Saturday when a front was stalled across South Florida, bringing clouds and a few showers, this front will lift north as a warm front this morning, opening up the door for warmer and brighter conditions.Expect intervals of sun and clouds this Sunday with only a few spotty showers.

The front will then arrive Monday afternoon, ushering in a drop in temperatures and humidity beginning Monday night.That will set the stage for a cool-ish Tuesday behind this fall front with high temperatures likely only reaching the...
