MIAMI.- This Wednesday, South Florida experienced the coldest morning of the week, with minimum temperatures falling into the 50°F (10°C), and some inland and even western areas recorded values in the high range of 40°F (4°C).
The cold will remain until mid-morning, with temperatures remaining below 60°F (15°C). However, as the day progresses, the wind will begin to blow from the northeast, which will provide warmer air and allow a slight rise in thermometers.

The National Weather Service has issued warnings for swimmers and boaters due to adverse conditions. Additionally, low temperatures could negatively impact plantings in some areas of the state, so farmers are urged to take precautions.
