Overview
- Mild, dry weather persists into the weekend with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 before the pattern flips.
- Patchy to locally dense fog is possible overnight and in the mornings, with the greatest risk into Friday near the coast, and drivers are advised to allow extra time.
- A strong front late Monday night into early Tuesday will drop afternoon temperatures into the 60s and push overnight lows into the 30s and 40s for New Year’s Eve and Day.
- Wind chills are forecast to feel colder than the air temperature, potentially dipping into the 20s and 30s in northern areas such as Ocala and The Villages.
- Rainfall with the front looks limited, with at most isolated light amounts under a half inch north of I‑4, as GFS and European model guidance aligns and the area ends the year with 10+ inch deficits.
