A Front Moves Through The Keys

This is our first significant Front since we were just grazed by Sandy in October, it is not expected to last long and the temperatures should not drop significantly.

These Fronts typically start with winds from the SE, then moving SW to West, then the blast from the NW before finally settling into a Northerly.
