Ari's reply is comprehensive and informative enough. I will only add that see if the temperature returns to the 9 o'clock position once you slow down to city speed, and dips to the 7 or 8 o'clock position once you get to highway speed again (because the faulty thermostat doesn't stop the flow of coolant to the radiator, and the radiator-cooled coolant gets too cold while being blasted by highway wind speed).
If so, likely to be a faulty thermostat stuck in the "open" position.
I had the above symptoms with my 9000CS (MY95) in Hong Kong with weather I believe is roughly similar to Florida. Once the thermostat was replaced, things were back to normal.
