Here is your forecast for Friday, December 20th, 2024
Following yesterday's front, drier and cooler air continues to build in. High temperatures today were on target for the normal this time of year around 77°.
A reinforcing front this evening will force even drier air into SWFL, allowing temperatures to fall into the mid and upper 40s overnight. With the wind, it will feel more like the low to mid-40s.
GET READY FOR THE CHILL: Right in time for the WINTER SOLSTICE, which begins at 4:21am, morning temperatures will be starting in the 40s for most of SWFL. Factor in the light northerly wind, and it will feel 2-3° colder. Happy season! pic.twitter.com/Ukp2nmbifX
