A slow pattern change will be bringing temps down closer to normal by the first week of January and then the pattern should continue to develop into a more wintry setup
Been quite a seasonal feel in the air in Fl, right up until today and through the Christmas period before another cold front comes down around the New Year, can't complain at all really.
The big day looks like mid-70's and with a little bit of rain around. It's been worse. I think 2015/2016 was the worst, 86F is too hot for cooking Christmas dinner, might as well have moved to Australia.
Another decent freeze this morning for the Augusta/Savannah/Charleston Airport triad!
Also overperformed here in Statesboro, dropping to 26 F!
Unfortunately, this looks like the last freeze here until the end of the month.
Finally, winter has begun! I no longer have to begrudgingly write out-of-season-comments because no one would reply in the fall thread.
I wonder if Sullivan's Island or Sapelo Island got any frost out of this? Their data for December 20 and 21 has yet to be filled in, but given that Charleston and Savannah Airports got several degrees below 0C, it certainly is a possibility.
Happy to see frost hollow Statesboro overperform well though.
Some more places we haven't discussed much are Inverness Airport and Archbold Station, some of Central Florida's cold spots. Inverness Airport is an excellent substitute for Brooksville Airport this year because it got the same surges of warmth minus crummy radiational performances (no frost since January 14 and hasn't gotten below 2C so far), and Archbold has just remained so insanely lucky with the fronts failing to penetrate far south enough to get it.
As a whole this season's Southeast US weather monitoring is looking very good today for the places that are or have done well - instead of a worrywart day, today is a warmth monitoring day. Yesterday I learned of this handy little map that lets you see forecast daily highs for EVERYWHERE in the US at once, and as of today warm teens and 20s are the name of the game for the Southeast US, with a fair amount of mild double-digit nights too. https://digital.mdl.nws.noaa.gov/?zo...&tunits=localt
And the one big thing on my mind: please, please, please don't let January-March be 2010-or-colder-repeats. The prolonged, widespread, and consistent bad performances from said scenario are just such a big pile of NOPE.
Temps are looking cooler for Christmas and precip chances down. Wunderground now shows 62/39F Christmas Day and highs in the 50's and lows in the 30's the remainder of next week afterward.
Christmas Eve still looking wet (1 - 1.5" of rain forecast) with high of 65F.
