Cold Weather Alert and County Updates Shape Weston’s Friday
Weston, FL — February 6, 2026 — A cold weather advisory remains in effect this morning as Broward County opens shelters, alongside countywide planning updates.
Cold Weather Advisory in Effect
Weston residents started Friday under unusually cold conditions after a strong cold front moved through South Florida overnight. Broward County officials issued a cold weather advisory late Thursday as temperatures dropped into the 30s across inland areas, a notable chill for early February.
In response, county and municipal partners activated cold-weather shelter operations for people experiencing homelessness through Friday morning. These measures are part of a broader regional response aimed at reducing cold-related health risks during overnight and early morning hours.
Officials are reminding residents to take simple precautions during the cold snap:
- Check in on elderly neighbors or anyone who may need assistance
- Bring pets indoors during the coldest hours
- Use space heaters carefully and follow safety guidelines
While conditions are expected to improve later today, the morning hours remain the coldest period of this weather event.
County Recycling Plan Moves Forward
Away from the weather, Broward County leaders are continuing work on long-term infrastructure planning. Officials are currently seeking public feedback on a newly released Solid Waste and Recycling Master Plan, which lays out strategies for reducing landfill use, improving recycling rates, and modernizing waste processing systems countywide.
The plan is designed to guide future decisions and investments over the coming years. For Weston households, the proposals could eventually influence recycling guidelines, collection practices, and broader environmental goals.
County officials say community input is an important part of the process as the plan moves toward implementation. Residents have an opportunity to review the proposals and share feedback before next steps are finalized.
Quiet Day Locally, With Eyes on the Weekend
There were no major Weston-specific emergencies or city commission actions reported over the past 48 hours. City offices remain open today, and municipal operations are continuing as usual.
With no major agenda items dominating the local calendar, the day is shaping up to be a relatively calm one for Weston. Attention is largely focused on the weather and county-level updates rather than immediate city business.
Forecasters expect temperatures to gradually warm as the day goes on, with more typical South Florida conditions returning by Saturday. The shift should bring a smoother transition into the weekend after a brisk start to Friday.
