Christmas Eve Forecast: Wet weather is on its way to Central Florida

A few showers will remain possible through the late hours of Christmas Eve. The best chance of rain will hold off until the Christmas afternoon. After a mild and cloudy start to the holiday, rain looks likely to spread eastward across Central Florida and become widespread by late morning.

Showers and even a few rumbles of thunder will be likely through mid-afternoon. It appears rain chances will begin to drop off by dinner time with only a few more showers possible. Rain totals look modest with most under .25". Highs will warm into the mid-70s under overcast skies during the day. 

As we look ahead, rain will be possible again Tuesday with more scattered showers mostly to the south of I-4. We'll see another front midweek drop our temperatures heading towards the end of the week/year. Sunshine returns but highs will drop into the 50s and 60s with lows in the 40s by Friday.

Even cooler weather could be on the way farther down the road so stay tuned!
