Florida – Warm, damp air hangs over northeast Florida this morning as fog clings to roadways and a light breeze stirs palm fronds. Conditions feel quiet early, but changes arrive quickly as the last full week of 2025 unfolds.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog lingers through early morning, followed by scattered showers late morning into early afternoon. Gusty southwest winds increase during showers, with occasional gusts near 30 mph around Jacksonville. Highs reach the upper 70s before a strong cold front sweeps through later today.
As the front passes, skies clear fast and temperatures tumble. By tonight, readings drop into the upper 30s across inland neighborhoods. Winds turn northwest, ushering in noticeably cooler and drier air. Drivers on I-95, I-10, and local causeways should watch for brief reduced visibility this morning and gusty crosswinds later today.
Tuesday brings a very different feel. Sunshine dominates, but highs struggle to reach the mid-50s. Winds stay breezy, adding a crisp edge to the day. By early Wednesday morning, temperatures fall into the low 30s away from the coast, bringing areas of frost. Sensitive plants and pets will need protection.
Wednesday stays cool, though sunshine helps temperatures recover into the mid-50s. Clear skies return Wednesday night, setting up another cold start before New Year’s Eve plans. Frost remains possible inland, especially north and west of Jacksonville.
New Year’s Day 2026 looks sunny and cool, with highs near the low 60s and a chilly start to the morning. While winter weather means snow elsewhere, Florida’s concern shifts to frost and cold-sensitive travel and outdoor plans.
