South Florida weather for Tuesday 12/3/24 11PM
SUMMARY: The weather forecast indicates cooler temperatures in South Florida, with current readings in the 50s and 60s, and some areas under freeze warnings. The region is experiencing a cold snap due to a jet stream bringing in Canadian air. While mornings will feel colder due to wind, temperatures are expected to rise to the 70s by afternoon. A pattern shift is anticipated, leading to slightly warmer weather and rising humidity by the end of the week. Next week will return to warmer conditions, with highs reaching the 80s, especially by Tuesday.

What is the cost of the 2024 Hurricane Season?
SUMMARY: Thanksgiving and Black Friday mark the end of hurricane season, which concluded on November 30th. Tampa Bay experienced significant damage, with ongoing rebuilding efforts following storms like Hurricane Helen, which caused nearly $1.9 billion in losses. Homeowners express relief that the season is over but worry about rising insurance rates. While the Florida property insurance market managed relatively well, claims from this season could lead to increased rates next year, especially for those who filed claims. The impact of this year’s storms, primarily flood-related, may result in adjustments in flood insurance costs as the market stabilizes.
New state data from the Office of Insurance Regulation shows the cost of these storms: Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Helene, and Hurricane Milton.
