Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Monday, December 22, 2025

• A mostly dry and sunny day is on tap for the Sunshine State as a weak cold front passes through North and Central Florida today.
• Breezy onshore winds will develop this afternoon across much of the Peninsula as a strong high pressure settles across the Southeast U.S. in the wake of the front.
• Wind gusts upwards of 30 mph are possible across coastal Southeast Florida, with inland locations seeing gusts upwards of 20-25 mph.
• A few coastal showers cannot be ruled out with these onshore winds along the I-95 corridor, though any activity will remain light and brief (15-20% chance of rain).
• Relative humidities may dip near critical thresholds across the Panhandle this afternoon which, paired with some breezier winds, could lead to locally sensitive to elevated wildfire conditions.
• High temperatures will top out in the lower 70s for much of North Florida, and middle 70s to lower 80s across Central and South Florida.
• Breezy wind gusts upwards of 30 mph will continue across coastal Southeast Florida overnight where a few brief sprinkles or light showers may linger (15-20% chance of rain). Otherwise, clear and calm conditions will prevail.
• Moisture will quickly increase again across the Panhandle where a clear night may promote low cloud and patchy fog development towards daybreak Tuesday, some of which could be locally dense.
• Low temperatures will bottom out in 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 to high risk for rip currents is expected for all Panhandle and East Coast beaches today with breezy onshore winds and building ocean swells.
• Waves of 4-6' across East Coast beaches will build to 6-8' overnight. A few waves upwards of 10' cannot be ruled out in the surf zone across coastal Southeast Florida.
