AT 518, WE GOT TO BRING IN FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST CAM TRAN BECAUSE JUST A REMINDER, IT\u2019S FRIDAY. I KNOW, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO. OKAY, CAM A LITTLE DANCE. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WEEKEND. YEAH GUYS. HOLIDAY SHOPPING. ARE YOU ALL DONE? MOSTLY THERE\u2019S ALWAYS THERE\u2019S ALWAYS SOMETHING LAST MINUTE THAT I MIGHT ORDER. WELL, THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE US TODAY. YEAH, MAYBE THAT\u2019S WHY I\u2019M, LIKE, GETTING A PEP IN MY STEP BECAUSE I\u2019M LIKE, OH MY GOSH, AT LEAST THE WEATHER IS NICE FOR YOU. LAST MINUTE SHOPPERS MYSELF INCLUDED. YES, BECAUSE WE HAVE A COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH TODAY THAT COULD BRING A STRAY SPRINKLE THIS MORNING AND SOME CLOUDS. BUT BEHIND THAT FRONT, A GORGEOUS STRETCH OF WEATHER. SO LET\u2019S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK. THAT COLD FRONT IS STILL WELL OFF TO OUR NORTH. AND THAT\u2019S WHY WE\u2019RE SEEING THAT UPTICK IN CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR. QUITE A BIT OF CLOUD COVER OUT AND ABOUT. WE ARE SEEING SOME BREAKS THERE IN NORTHERN MARION COUNTY. BUT OVERALL LOTS OF CLOUDS AROUND AND CAN\u2019T RULE OUT A STRAY SPRINKLE THIS MORNING AS WELL. IN FACT, THAT\u2019S WHAT WE\u2019RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN FAR RURAL OSCEOLA COUNTY. HERE WE DO HAVE A TINY SHOWER THAT\u2019S WELL EAST OF NARCOOSSEE THIS MORNING ON NOVA ROAD. OTHERWISE, RADAR IS PRETTY QUIET THIS MORNING. BUT ONCE AGAIN TO LATE MORNING. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AROUND TEN 11:00. AGAIN, A STRAY SPRINKLE CAN\u2019T BE RULED OUT. THAT\u2019S WHY I HAVE A 10% CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST TODAY. ONCE THAT FRONTAL SYSTEM CLEARS US THOUGH, WE ARE GOING TO SEE DRIER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND MORE SUNSHINE AS WELL BECAUSE BEHIND THAT FRONT, WE\u2019RE GOING TO START TO SEE SOME DRIER AIR WORKING ITS WAY IN. AND THAT\u2019S GOING TO CLEAR OUT THOSE CLOUDS. SO BY 2 TO 3:00 THIS AFTERNOON, EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE THIS MORNING. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT TAVARES. LOOK HOW CALM AND QUIET IT IS. AND IT\u2019S ALSO VERY WARM. THE TEMPERATURES THAT WE\u2019RE SEEING THIS MORNING ARE CLOSE TO WHERE OUR HIGHS SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO YOU WON\u2019T NEED THOSE JACKETS RIGHT NOW AT 71 IN DELAND, 71 IN THE CITY. BEAUTIFUL. 72 IN MELBOURNE AND 71 IN SAINT CLOUD. LATER TODAY, TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT RIGHT AROUND THE UPPER 70S TO RIGHT AROUND THE LOW 80S BEFORE THAT FRONT ARRIVES. SO IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A WARM DAY AND ALSO RATHER BREEZY AS WELL. WITH THE WIND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 15MPH, GUSTING UP TO 20 AT TIMES, SO BREAKING OUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. LOTS OF CLOUDS TO START OFF THE DAY. WE\u2019LL TOP OUT RIGHT AROUND 71 JUST AFTER LUNCHTIME. ONCE THAT FRONT CLEARS US, WE\u2019LL START TO SEE THOSE SKIES CLEAR OUT. AND MORE SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON. AND BEHIND THAT FRONT WE WILL SEE A BIT OF A COOLDOWN. NOT A SIGNIFICANT ONE, BUT OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE LOW 50S. 53 IN ORLANDO AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF ORLANDO WILL BE IN THE 40S. WE\u2019LL START OFF ON SUNDAY IN THE UPPER 50S, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT A NICE DAY AHEAD FOR MONDAY MORNING. SO WE START TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES MODERATE A BIT AS WE GO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND. LOOKING FABULOUS, A HIGH OF 77 ON SATURDAY, 79 THE HIGH ON SUNDAY AND LOOKING AHEAD FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WEEK. WE COULDN\u2019T ASK FOR A NICER FORECAST. HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO BE IN CONTROL. PERFECT WEATHER WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. THAT MEANS SUNSHINE AND DRY CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE PRETTY MILD. WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS EVE STARTING OFF IN THE UPPER 50S HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S. AND THAT WILL BE THE CASE FOR CHRISTMAS DAY AS WELL. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT YOUR CENTRAL FLORIDA CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. A WINTER OFFICIALLY BEGINS ON SUNDAY, BUT IT REALLY WON\u2019T FEEL LIKE IT. AND THEN LOOK AT THAT. A NICE STRETCH OF WEATHER THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY. AND HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN DAY. FOR FOLKS ALONG THE COAST, YOU WILL SEE A NICE STRETCH OF SUNSHINE, BUT WE WILL SEE AN UPTICK I\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Front moving through Central Florida; slight cooldown this weekend<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766143033_160_wesh.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WESH logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 5:57 AM EST Dec 19, 2025\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wesh.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Florida experiences a mild start with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s and mostly cloudy skies, as a cold front moves through the area today.
