Upper level ridging over the Gulf and southeastern US and surface ridging over the eastern Gulf is keeping a warm and stable airmass in place across the forecast area through Monday. The main weather concern will come from patchy fog developing each night under clear skies and light winds, with the highest fog chances over the Nature Coast counties south through the Tampa Bay area, and over interior portions of southwest Florida. The fog will lift out by a couple of hours after sunrise, with sunny skies then allowing afternoon temperatures to warm up to the mid 70s to low 80s. Broad subsidence from the stacked ridging will keep rain chances near zero through at least Monday morning.

A strong upper level trough digging into the eastern US early next week will bring about a change in the weather pattern, pulling a cold front into the Florida Peninsula by Monday evening. While some rain is expected to develop over the coastal waters ahead of the frontal passage, atmospheric moisture does not look to be sufficient to lead to significant rain chances over the land areas, with only isolated coverage expected mainly near the coast. Modest cold air advection will setup by late Monday night Tuesday morning behind the front, keeping highs on Tuesday several degrees below normal. Lows on Wednesday morning are forecast to drop to near or below freezing over the Nature Coast, and fall into the mid 30s to low 40s from around the Tampa Bay and Interstate 4 south. As surface ridging builds back into the northern Gulf on Wednesday through Friday, winds will subside and shift to northeasterly, weakening the cold air advection and allowing temperatures to slowly moderate, but keeping temperatures below normal through the end of the week.

High pressure over the eastern Gulf will hold through Monday morning. This will keep winds around 10 knots or less, with rain chances remaining near zero. Winds will pick up Monday afternoon ahead of a cold front that will move through Monday night, bringing 20-30 percent chances of showers with the front. Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected Monday night and Tuesday, with winds then subsiding Tuesday night and Wednesday as high pressure builds back in from the north.

Fire Weather
Issued at 241am EST Sat Dec 27 2025

No humidity concerns through Monday. Areas of fog will be possible each of the next several days during the late night and early morning hours.
