Ok,ok that's not really an iceberg floating off Key West, but it sure feels that cold to some here.
Monday morning will go down in the record books for one of the coldest days in South Florida's history.
In Miami, the temperature dropped to 36 degrees, breaking the old record for the day of 37 degrees set back in 1927. Across South Florida actual temperatures dropped into the upper 20s inland in some locations, including Kendall, with the 'feels like' temperatures in the teens.
But that wasn't the only record broken.
In Key West, the temperature at the airport dropped to 42 degrees shattering the old record of 48 degrees set back in 1970. This was also the second coldest temperature ever recorded in Key West going back to 1873 when weather records for the island were first kept. The all time record low in Key West is 41 degrees which has only occurred twice; on January 13th, 1981 and January 12th, 1886.
Temperatures will slowly but surely increase the next few days. Tuesday and Wednesday forecasting highs in the 60s and finally enjoying highs back to normal in the 70s by Thursday and Friday with a better chance of showers by the end of the week. Saturday will be warmer with highs in the 80s.
