The normal high in Miami dips below 80 on Tuesday for the first time since March 4, but South Florida will see temperatures at least 10 degrees cooler than that next week, according to the National Weather Service.

Highs on Tuesday in West Palm Beach may only rise into the mid-60s, forecasters said. The normal high is 78.

Temps are forecast to rebound into the low 70s by Wednesday, but that’s still unusually cool even by mid-January standards.

Normal temps in Orlando for December 3 are 75 and 55; the forecast is for 60 and 44.

Tampa normals: 74 and 57; the forecast is for 63 and 49.

Jacksonville normals: 68 and 53; the forecast is for 58 and 40, with Tuesday morning temperatures bottoming out at 38 degrees.

A “light freeze” is possible in parts of the panhandle, forecasters in Tallahassee said.
