Palm Beach County is opening cold-weather shelters on Feb. 5, as a strong cold front moves across South Florida.
Back-to-back cold fronts will send potentially record-breaking temperatures to the Florida Panhandle on Saturday and Sunday. The National Weather Service issued an extreme cold warning and wind advisory for the Panhandle from late night on Friday to Sunday morning.
The arctic air will remain focused across the Plains, then shift to the Northeast throughout the week. Some cold air will filter south over Florida, and although it will linger through much of the week, allowing temperatures to remain below average, the coldest temperatures will just last one day, Tuesday, followed by a slow increase.
A second February cold front will assail Florida this week on the heels the previous punch of winter, which was still challenging records Tuesday with lingering frigid air.
A cold front hits Southwest Florida, leading the Charlotte CARE Center to extend shelter hours for those in need due to the temperature drop.
