Weekend temperatures set cold mark in Key West
XNN
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo saw the lowest dip in temperatures at 52 degrees Sunday morning. Marathon had the second lowest temperature of the weekend with 56 degrees.
Key West hit 61 degrees and reached just 70 degrees Sunday, eclipsing the city's 1887 record for the lowest daytime high for Nov. 2 of 72 degrees.
"The story began Friday when the wind started to ramp up behind the initial cold front that was weaker," said Matthew Bloemer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Key West. "Saturday had a much more robust cold front coming through followed by very abrupt wind speeds."
