South Florida's Expected Wind Chills Tonight
Please see county-specific tabs above for additional graphics.
What is 'Wind Chill' or 'Apparent Temperature'? Wind Chill is a term used to describe what the air temperature feels like to the human skin due to the combination of cold temperatures and winds blowing on exposed skin. In simple terms, the colder the air temperature and the higher the wind speeds the colder it will feel on your skin if you're outside. So even if it remains the same temperature, but the wind speed increases it will actually feel colder to your skin. So why does it feel colder if the wind speed increases but the temperature remains the same? The reason is because as wind blows across our bodies it takes the heat we naturally emit and blows it away from our bodies. The faster the wind speed the faster our body heat is taken away and the colder it feels. It is a similar process for when you blow on a hot bowl of soup to cool it down. The temperature that it feels like outside due to the air temperature and wind speed is called the "Wind Chill."

Greatest 12 Hour Possible Rainfall (in.)
These maps depict a reasonable upper-end rainfall amount for the time period shown on the graphic, based on many computer model simulations of possible rainfall totals. These higher amounts are an unlikely scenario, with only a 1 in 10, or 10% chance that more rain will fall, and a 9 in 10, or 90% chance that less rain will fall. These amounts can help serve as an upper-end scenario for planning purposes.

Least Possible 12 Hour Rainfall (in.)
These maps depict a reasonable lower-end rainfall amount for the time period shown on the graphic, based on many computer model simulations of possible rainfall totals. These lower amounts are an unlikely scenario, with a 9 in 10, or 90% chance that more rain will fall, and only a 1 in 10, or 10% chance that less rain will fall. These amounts can help serve as a lower-end scenario for planning purposes. On many occasions these graphics will be blank, which depicts that the low end is for no measurable rainfall.
