Thanksgiving Day will feature a front in south Florida (but don’t get too excited about this one). It’s a weak fall front that’s on the move and will slowly pass across the region early Thursday. Yes, sometimes November fronts bring big cooling, but not this time. This front will lose its main cooling as it drops farther south in latitude. For south Florida it will simply allow temperatures to come down about 5-degrees so readings returning to average. It’s worth noting that Wednesday was unusually warm.
