What we’re about to share is absolutely stunning and could put South Florida in the path of an Arctic airmass this weekend.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Miami warns of an “Arctic air mass heading into South Florida this upcoming weekend.”
NWS Miami provided an infographic explaining the potential setup that could leave area-wide frost and freezing conditions in South Florida.

“Temperatures on Saturday are forecast to not get out of the 50s over most of the area, and even southern areas around Miami may struggle to reach 60 degrees under clearing skies and gusty northwest winds,” NWS Miami said. “This will set the stage for the coldest night and morning which will likely be Saturday night and Sunday morning.”
“Current indications are that the probabilities for freezing temperatures early Sunday morning are increasing over inland Southwest Florida, primarily Glades, Hendry, inland Collier, and inland Palm Beach County well away from Lake Okeechobee. In these areas, duration of temperatures of 32 degrees or below could be as much as 4 hours.
Over the rest of the area, low temperatures Sunday morning are forecast to range from the mid-30s over the outlying suburbs of the east and west coasts, upper 30s Gulf coast, and upper 30s to lower 40s over most of metro Southeast Florida,” NWS Miami said.
Weather conditions Saturday evening and Sunday morning could be cold enough for freeze warnings. Here’s the freeze outlook for the weekend.
The potential freeze-mageddon comes as “The Sunshine State” produces one of the smallest crops since the 1940s.
In what appears to be a citrus shortage developing, frozen orange juice futures have risen nearly 40% since the beginning of November. Currently, they trade around $1.59 per pound as speculators could push contracts as high as $2.
At this time, the state’s citrus growers are praying freeze-mageddon is not unleashed across the state; otherwise, it would mean more crop loss and higher prices, something consumers would not be too fond of.

Gack! Can’t everybody everywhere agree once and for all to stop using “XXX-Ageddon”? It is years, nay, decades, past its expiration date.
At the same time, retire “XXX-Gate,” too.
They are strong indicators of weak minds.

Can I use this information to corner the frozen orange juice market? Duke & Duke is willing to make a major play!
Funny i rode my bike to work one morning in philly. it was 7 degrees. It hasn’t been that cold in about 10 years. The face mask i used almost asphyxiated me. Next day i drove to work. but it was much warmer.
I bet the Weather Channel has a name for this storm.

Well, if Florida gets a record freeze this year, destroying their orange crop, I will BLAME DeSantis for it, as he didn’t force the farmers to put in heating systems. So, I’ll vote against him in the Primary.
I lived in Miami through the 50s and I remember several cold fronts coming through the state and freezing the orange groves. Our house had no heat, so we had to rely on a small heater or stay under the covers.
There is a citrus Armageddon down here. Not the freeze, however. It’s called “greening”. In 20 years there won’t be much citrus left if it’s not fixed.

I suspect like many diseases we humans have, somebody knows the cure but… man, the funding they get to research it….
