The season's first cold front will descend upon Florida this weekend, and South Florida will be less rainy as a result, with partly sunny skies. But don't expect a significant cooldown or dry-out. "Though the frontal boundary will pass through South Florida, it won't be a complete dry passage," said meteorologist Sammy Hadi of the National Weather Service's Miami office. He said there will still be a 30% to 50% chance of rain, even on the side of the front.

After weeks of monsoon-fueled thunderstorms, wildfires and sweltering heat, " an early season cold front " is expected to bring temperatures down across California this week. "We're going to have rapid cooling, with the biggest drop in temperatures tomorrow," Kristan Lund, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard, said Monday. "This is one of the biggest cooldowns we've seen, especially since June. ... This will bring temperatures pretty far below normal."

A plume of warm air will sink southwards from neighbouring Paraguay on Monday, lingering through Tuesday, before giving way to a cold front on Wednesday.
