Tracking afternoon sunshine on Christmas Eve

Published: Updated:

The Weather Authority said that Southwest Florida is ushering in Santa with warmth and sunshine this Christmas Eve.

The Weather Authority Meteorologist Lauren Kriedler said, “As we go throughout the afternoon, those temperatures are going to warm up just like yesterday in the upper 70s.”

By the afternoon, temperatures will reach the upper 70s to low 80s with sun and clouds overhead.

We stay dry throughout the day, with rain chances increasing towards the end of the week.

While we are not tracking rain, we are tracking Santa’s every move as he delivers presents worldwide.

When he nears Southwest Florida overnight, partly cloudy skies will prevail, and temperatures will be in the 60s.

Wednesday

For your Christmas and first day of Hanukkah forecast, we will see those above-average temperatures yet again, reaching the low 80s.

This week
