Issued 01/09/01 11:00 AM With strong CAA occurring on a 20-30 mph NW wind,
dewpoints have already fallen into the low 20's, with teens expected as the
day progresses. The southward extent of the dewpoint gradient will determine
just how severe the freeze will be in south central/northern Everglades
tonight. As this will be an advective cooling event, the extreme low
temperatures (13 deg. due to radiational cooling) as occurred on the 7th
will not take place. Unfortunately advective means wind and wind defeats
cold weather protection methods, except for south of lake exposures.
As the weather pattern is becoming more progressive (fast moving) with time,
a significant freeze event is now unlikely for Thursday morning 01/11/01.
Onshore flow from the Atlantic Ocean will break the low dewpoints and the
wind will bust the radiational cooling effect.
Take Care,
