<\/p>\nNew Year’s Eve chill: Expect a cooldown in Central Florida as we head into 2026<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLET\u2019S TURN NOW TO OUR FORECAST ON THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AND IT IS REALLY SHAPING UP TO BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY, ESPECIALLY AS MANY PEOPLE ARE HEADING THE ROADS TO GET OUT OF FLORIDA. SOUNDS WEIRD. I DON\u2019T KNOW WHY YOU\u2019D WANT TO DO THAT, BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE NICE UNTIL YOU LEAST GET TO THE BORDER. YEAH, I MEAN, YOU GET A LITTLE FURTHER, BUT LIKE IT\u2019S SNOWING IN NEW YORK. OKAY, SO ALL THE PEOPLE THERE DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS. OKAY. I\u2019M DREAMING OF SUNSHINE AND WARM TEMPERATURES, BUT, HEY, THAT\u2019S ALSO WHY WE LIVE HERE. THAT\u2019S A BEAUTIFUL SHOT FROM A WEATHER CAMERA IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. IT\u2019S JUST GORGEOUS. WE\u2019RE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, THOUGH. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. SO HALLOWEEN\u2019S HIGH TEMPERATURE WAS 69 DEGREES. THANKSGIVING WAS 75. WE\u2019RE GETTING WARMER AND WARMER. CHRISTMAS HIGH TEMPERATURE 79 WILL BE WARMER THAN HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING, BUT AT LEAST THERE\u2019S A LOT OF SUNSHINE. IT IS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL ONE. VERY SIMILAR ON CHRISTMAS TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WE\u2019LL START OFF NICE AND COOL. WE\u2019LL WARM THROUGH THE DAY. PLAYING OUTSIDE WITH THE NEW GIFTS WILL BE GORGEOUS SUNSHINE AND READINGS AROUND 79. THEN MONDAY INTO TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK, A BIG COLD FRONT SNEAKS THROUGH AND USHERS IN A REAL CHILL. AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A REAL CHILL FROM SUNDAY\u2019S HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 80 DEGREES TO TUESDAY\u2019S HIGH OF 58, THINGS ARE DROPPING 22 DEGREES. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE NOTICEABLE. JUST TO PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE, LET\u2019S LOOK AHEAD. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE COLDEST MORNING. THESE ARE AIR TEMPERATURES. THIS IS THE AMERICAN GFS MODEL ON DECEMBER 31ST. SO THIS IS NEW YEAR\u2019S EVE 41 IN ORLANDO, 34 IN THE VILLAGES COULD GET DOWN TO AROUND FREEZING HERE IN MARION COUNTY. I THINK THAT THERE\u2019S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LOT OF WIND. SO AT THE MOMENT WE\u2019RE NOT REALLY LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT FROST, BUT THAT\u2019S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO WATCH. EVEN ALONG THE BEACH, SIDE SPOTS WILL BE INTO THE LOWER 40S. THEN THROUGH THE DAY ON NEW YEAR\u2019S EVE, HIGH TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING IN THE 50S. AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, I WANT TO STOP AT 11 P.M. ON NEW YEAR\u2019S EVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE WHEN EVERYBODY\u2019S DOING THEIR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR. WE\u2019LL BE BACK INTO THE 40S, SO IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A CHILLY RAINING IN THE NEW YEAR. WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT? SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE NEED TO ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE NOW, WHICH IS WARMTH, BECAUSE THE PATTERN COMPLETELY TOPPLES OVER FOR NEXT WEEK. UPPER 70S INTO THE LOWER 80S ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AND IT\u2019S JUST GORGEOUS SUNSHINE RIGHT NOW IN TAVARES MID 70S. GORGEOUS CLEAR SKIES, PORT CANAVERAL, SAME THING. DAYTONA BEACH. WE\u2019RE SITTING AT 75 DEGREES. WE\u2019LL BRING THOSE TEMPERATURES UP IN SOME PLACES. WE\u2019VE ALREADY HIT THE HIGH IN OTHER PLACES. UPPER 70S FOR MOST OF US THIS AFTERNOON, MUCH LESS WIND THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. AND FOR THE EVENING. TEMPERATURES LITTLE BY LITTLE WILL DROP OFF INTO THE 60S, AND BY THE TIME WE WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, IT\u2019S THE 50S TO ABOUT 60 DEGREES, I THINK ABOUT TWO THREE DEGREES COOLER TONIGHT JUST BECAUSE THE WINDS ARE GOING TO GO CALM AROUND THE AREA. SO HERE WE ARE ON CENTRAL FLORIDA\u2019S CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, SHOWING THIS PATTERN STUCK IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES, WARMING TEMPERATURES. BUT DO NOTICE THAT RISE IN RAIN CHANCE ON MONDAY. THAT\u2019S THE NEXT FRONT BRINGING IN T\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
