Florida cold front brings strongest cooldown with temps as low as 40s

A cold front is bringing the strongest cooldown to the Treasure Coast so far this season with temperatures dropping as low as the 40s, said National Weather Service meteorologists. Rain showers were isolated and scattered on the morning of Nov. 12 before drier air was expected to move into the area, said meteorologist Cassie Wishard with the National Weather Service in Melbourne. That would reinforce the cold front moving through Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties on the night of Nov. 12 into the next day, Wishard said. “It’s a little taste of fall,” Wishard said. Fort Pierce: Woman, 84, flooded out of her home of 49 years after rain St. Lucie County: Family faces flooded home after historic, unexpected rainfall The last warm day near normal would be Nov. 12 before temperatures drop to as low as 12 degrees below normal during Nov. 13-15, she said. The coldest day would be Nov. 14 with high temperatures in the upper 60s, Wishard said. The day before and the day after would be in the mid-70s. The average normal high temperature for this time of the year is 80 degrees, she said. Low temperatures overnight Nov. 12 stay near normal

Florida School Board reviewing applicants for next superintendent

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A dozen candidates, including two current school district employees, have applied to be the next school superintendent. Superintendent David Moore notified the School Board in August he plans to retire in June. The board set a tight timeline for receiving applications, soliciting public input, interviewing finalists and naming a replacement for Moore by mid-December. The board wants to select and hire a new superintendent who can work with Moore before he leaves. Moore, who became superintendent in 2019, is credited with leading the Indian River County School District through transformational change, helping it improve from 38th in the state to fifth. The district has received four consecutive "A" grades from the Florida Department of Education. Application deadline was Oct. 26. The next step is for the School Board to review applications at a public workshop, 12:45 p.m. Nov. 17. Finalists are expected to be named at the workshop, with interviews to begin next month. The two internal candidates — William Dodds and Christina Jacobs — have extensive experience within the school district. Dodds has been district chief financial officer since earlier this year. He previously was principal of Sebastian Charter Junior High from 2017-2026 and an
