Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Sunday, December 21, 2025

• Clear and calm conditions overnight have promoted patchy dense fog development across portions of South and Northeast Florida and Dense Fog Advisories will remain in effect until mid-morning when any fog should dissipate.
• Otherwise, another sunny and mostly dry day is on tap for much of the Sunshine State as high pressure dominates.
• A weak coastal front lingering across coastal Southeast Florida may encourage a few slow-moving showers to develop today, mainly along the immediate coastline and I-95 corridor (20-30% chance of rain).
• Any of this activity is expected to remain light, however a brief heavier downpour cannot be ruled out.
• Across the far western Panhandle, a few brief sprinkles are possible later this afternoon as an upper-level disturbance slides north across the lower Mississippi Valley (10-15% chance of rain).
• Dry conditions across Northeast Florida will allow relative humidities to dip near critical thresholds (30-35% RH values) this afternoon with locally sensitive wildfire conditions possible in any areas experiencing the most severe long-term drought.
• High temperatures will climb into the lower to middle 70s across North Florida and middle 70s to lower 80s in Central and South Florida this afternoon.
• A few showers may linger across Southeast Florida and the far western Panhandle this evening before dissipating before midnight (15-25% chance of rain); Dry conditions will prevail elsewhere.
• A strong high-pressure system will slide southeastward towards the eastern U.S. tonight sending a cold front through the northern tier of Florida.
• No sensible impacts are expected from this frontal passage in the way of rainfall; however, winds will increase after midnight over much of North Florida with a few wind gusts upwards of 30 mph possible along the Northeast Florida coast.
• Low temperatures will dip into the upper 40s to lower 50s across North Florida, middle 50s to lower 60s in Central Florida, and middle 60s to lower 70s in South Florida.
• A moderate risk for rip currents is expected for most Panhandle and East Coast beaches today.
