MIAMI (CBSMiami) - After weeks of above normal temperatures, a long awaited return to more typical early March weather with highs in the 70s and lows near 60 will arrive Tuesday night.

The break in the heat is the result of a cold front passing through South Florida Tuesday afternoon. Along the front a few showers and storms have popped up but much drier air spills into the area tonight and tomorrow.

Miami-Dade, Broward and the Keys will dip into the 50s and 60s overnight and into Wednesday morning. The average low this time of year is 64 degrees.

As high pressure builds, it will be cool, dry and breezy on Wednesday. High temperatures will struggle to reach the mid-70s on Tuesday. The average high is 80 degrees.

By Thursday morning, it could be even colder with lows in the mid to upper 50s. Thursday afternoon highs will be pleasant in the upper 70s.

Because of the expected low humidity, fire danger will increase through the middle of the week.

By Friday morning, temperatures will be in the low 60s but high temperatures will rebound to around 80 degrees as high pressure moves to the East and we have more of an onshore flow.

Because of the expected low humidity, fire danger will increase through the middle of the week.

By the weekend, temps and chances for showers rise ahead of the next cold front early next week.
