ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 We kicked off the weekend with a slightly cooler Saturday morning that gave way to a warm afternoon. Tonight will be a repeat into your Sunday as well. <\/p>\n
But, by Sunday night, that\u2019s when things begin to evolve with the approach of our next cold front. This cold air doesn\u2019t bring with it a promising shot for rain, I\u2019m afraid, but it does promise to deliver the next dose of pre-winter season cold conditions to Central Florida. <\/p>\n

We could see feel\u2019s like temperatures for our northern counties dipping back into the upper 20s once the coldest air arrives combined with how quick this air will be flowing in from up north. Alachua and Marion counties could start their Monday with feel\u2019s like temps hovering in the mid to upper 20s. <\/p>\n
The majority of us should be geared up for colder temps all the way around our neighborhood as we wander into another full work week, especially Monday and Tuesday. Afternoon high\u2019s will need to fight hard if they want to touch the 70 degree mark, which looks highly unlikely for Monday especially. <\/p>\n
Because we\u2019re Florida though, we will give this cold snap a warm send off by Wednesday once we start to observe afternoon high\u2019s climbing right back into the low to mid 70s. From there, it actually seems we might make our final approach towards Christmas sitting in above average conditions for a good chunk of mid-December. <\/p>\n
Where\u2019s the rain in all this? If you\u2019re looking for it, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. <\/p>\n

This weekend was actually looking kind of showery early on. During our last rain event, computer models were sold we\u2019d see another favorable set up to bring Central Florida at least a splash of necessary rain as drought conditions try to emerge once again. <\/p>\n
Since about the Monday\u2013Tuesday time frame however, those chances dried up.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve stuck with me for a little while now, you\u2019ve probably heard me mention that we\u2019ve hit the time of the year where the jet stream high above us in the atmosphere dictates the weather. <\/p>\n
While this is true year-round, we can at the very least count on the general moist, humid environment during our summer months to bring rounds of sea breeze action during the afternoon. <\/p>\n
As we move towards the climax of fall into winter, we don\u2019t have that safety net to keep Florida from browning over and drying out. If the jet decides it wants to stay up north, the rain will stay away as well. <\/p>\n
When you take a look at the upper air layout of our jet stream and where our high and low pressure systems flow over the next 7-10 days, rain should remain scarce in our neck of the woods. <\/p>\n
If you though the initiation of winter meant Florida would cave to colder temps, I’m concerned you might be disappointed. (Copyright WKMG 2025)<\/p>\n
Down the pike, the European and American computer models are targeting an approaching future front that could slide some moisture and rainfall into Central Florida as we round out the teens of December into the final countdown towards Christmas. <\/p>\n
Dec. 19 is what seems to be our date to watch for a rainfall resurrection for at least a number of us. <\/p>\n

Until then, dominant and stubborn ridging is slated to build in overhead driving temperatures upward and rain chances a little further downward. <\/p>\n
