Cold Front Will End Central Florida Warmth With a Chilly New Year

Model guidance from the GFS plus the European system points to a sharp drop beginning Tuesday after a late Monday night frontal passage.

Overview

  • Warm, dry weather holds through Monday with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 across Central Florida.
  • The front is expected late Monday night into early Tuesday, with highs tumbling from around 80 on Monday to the mid 60s Tuesday.
  • Overnight lows will run mostly in the 40s, with some northern areas dipping into the 30s, including mid 30s in Ocala and The Villages.
  • Wind chills could run about 10 degrees lower than thermometer readings, with feels-like values in the 20s to 30s by Wednesday morning in spots.
  • Rain chances look limited to isolated, light showers mainly north of the I-4 corridor, while patchy to locally dense coastal fog remains a near-term concern into Friday.
