I need to find the most recently modified file in a directory that matches 3.0 MB.
First Attempt
ls -t /home/weather/some.cool*.file | head -n +1 | grep "3.0M"
Second Attempt
find /home/weather/ -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "some.cool*.file" -size 3M -exec ls -t "{}" +; | head -n +1
Am I close?

This should work:
ls -lh --sort=time /path/to/directory/*.file | grep "3.0M" | head -n =1
