The cold spell will be short-lived, as South Florida begins a gradual warm-up on Saturday. Winds will shift from the northeast to the east, allowing a warmer airmass to move into the area. By Saturday night, low temperatures will feel much more comfortable compared to tonight's sharp chill.

This past week’s cold snap, with images of snow in north Florida, has stirred memories of that moment decades ago when South Florida itself experienced a rare snow show.
