South Florida is facing another unusually cold day on Monday as a Freeze Warning remains in effect for metro and coastal Palm Beach County, as well as metro Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Students returning to school Monday morning bundled up against the chill, with overnight temperatures once again dropping into the 30s across the region. Forecasters say the greatest concern for frost and freezing conditions in metro Broward and Miami-Dade counties will be in western areas, including Redlands, Davie, Weston, and Homestead, through 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Cold Weather Advisories remain in effect for all of South Florida. Despite sunshine during the day, temperatures are expected to remain cold, with afternoon highs only reaching the upper 50s, keeping conditions chilly throughout the day.
Meteorologists say a gradual warming trend is expected to begin Tuesday as winds shift direction, with temperatures slowly moderating through midweek.
In response to the prolonged cold, Broward County officials announced continued emergency shelter operations for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The county, working with community partners, will provide overnight shelter through Monday night, February 2, 2026, due to the ongoing low temperatures.
Homeless individuals are advised to report to The Salvation Army for shelter placement beginning at 5:30 p.m. each evening through Monday night. Dinner will be available starting at 4:30 p.m., though participation is optional.

Shelter beds will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and space is limited. Officials are urging residents to notify anyone experiencing homelessness in their area about the cold-weather shelter availability.
County leaders continue to stress the importance of taking precautions during the cold snap, particularly for vulnerable populations, pets, and those without adequate heating.
