Issued at 750pm EST Thu Jan 1 2026

Quiet evening underway locally under clear skies and light winds as surface high pressure centered over the Gulf extends across the peninsula. Patchy fog development possible late tonight mainly across the Nature Coast with lower likelihood extending into central and southern areas mainly away from the coast. Otherwise expect continued moderating trend with lows mostly in the 40s, although spotty upper 30s possible for localized areas of the Nature Coast and central/southern interior, and upper 40s to mid 50s likely for immediate coastal central/southern locations.

The first day of 2026 is shaping up to be a beautiful one after a chilly start. High temperatures today will stay in the upper 60s under clear skies. With high pressure lingering over the area, temperatures will continue to moderate each day, reaching back into the 70s tomorrow. A frontal boundary will move over the area Saturday night into Sunday, bringing an increased chance of rain and the possibility for a few thunderstorms. This next front will not bring a significant cool down, but low temperatures will drop a couple degrees to start the week and humidity will be slightly less. High pressure will build back in Sunday night and clear, quiet conditions will resume through next week. Low temperatures will be in the 50s with highs in the upper 70s/ low to mid 80s each day.
