Lets head outside and show you what is going on right now. Look at that. Where are we . Thats not florida. Well, just a brief interruption in our nice weather as of late and our warm weather as of lat soar into the mid 80s like the last couple of days. Notice the over night low temperatures. Not going below 70 in the nature coast. We have the cloud cover keeping you nice and warm for the over night. Above average for this time of the year. Lets break down december since it has started. On the 1st of the month our average high is 75 and the average low is 57. The warmest day on any given december is 86 degrees. We have last year in december. 86 was the high on christmas day.

Lets hope to get some because november we ended up with. 100 of an inch of rain. That was it. So if you thought it was dry, you bet. The low 70s right now. The upper 60s up to the north. Ill widen the shot to see whe o its going to be cool tomorrow morning. Not this cold i dont think but just an indication of where the front is and it continues to move further south. As it does so a couple of showers with it. We are seeing that on doppler radar. Its not going to amount to much. That will continue throughout the day today. Mostly cloudy, not much in the way of sun except further south and east where we have a chance to get the temperatures in the low to middle 80s. This is tropical stuff here in the upper 60s to low 70s for the dew the 30s and 40s. Crispy tomorrow morning. Youre certainly going to need the jackets and the sweaters. Very low dew points allow the temperatures to fall back. I think well have some 40s across the north. For today, no, the mid and upper 70s and then the 80s where we have that pocket of clear air and sunshine. And there it is, the morning temperatures much cooler so prepare yourself. Youre going to need some layers i think tomorrow. This will be a shock a little bit since weve been used to the humidity and the warm temperatures. Over night 50s, highs in the 70s setting up the nice looking weekend with highs in the 80s. Warmer next sunday ahead of our next system that will bring us showers next week. Thank you, ivan.
