Cold snap sets records in several districts of south Florida

The National Weather Service says brisk temperatures Sunday in the Naples area have broken the previous record.

Temperatures in the area only reached a high of 71 degrees, which makes it the area's coolest high temperature since 1962, when the high topped out at 75 degrees, said Barry Baxter, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.

Temperatures in South Florida and the Keys also have broken records.

The temperature fell morning to 52 degrees in Miami, breaking the previous record of 54 degrees in 1993. In West Palm Beach, the temperature dipped to 49 degrees, below the previous record of 51 degrees in 1993.

The low temperature in Key West fell to 61 degrees, breaking the previous record of 62 degrees set in 1957.

Temperatures only reached a high of 71 degrees in Miami, breaking a record set at 73 degrees in 1949. In West Palm Beach, temperatures peaked at 69 degrees, breaking the 1964 record of 72.

Warmer weather should return later this week.
