COOL TODAY & COLD TONIGHT; MILD DAYS, COOL NIGHTS FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK… If you’re a cold weather fan, you’d better enjoy today and tonight as the next 7-10 days after today look increasingly warm. Temperatures will be running 10 to 15 degrees above our climatological averages for this time of year as we get toward the middle and latter part of the upcoming week, aka just in time for Christmas. I know many folks want a chilly weather pattern on Christmas Day, but that simply is not in the cards for south Alabama and northwest Florida this year. High temperatures will be in the upper 60s and low 70s starting tomorrow. Overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s next week.

DRY PATTERN OVERALL AFTER SUNDAY… Our next chance of rain happens on Sunday when a few widely scattered showers may be possible across the region. No rain is expected from Monday through Friday of the upcoming week, meaning Christmas will be dry across the region.

NORMAL TO HAVE WILDLY VARYING TEMPERATURES THIS TIME OF YEAR… The winter months have the biggest temperature swings across our part of the world. Sometimes you can temperatures as low as the single digits but other times, temperatures can be as warm as 80° or 85°. The last few Christmases across south Alabama and northwest Florida have varied quite a bit (as expected). The average high for Christmas Day is 63° and the average low is 43°.

Christmas 2025 is projected to have a high of 74° with a low of 52° (above normal)
Christmas 2024 had a high of 64° and a low of 47° (near normal)
Christmas 2023 had a high of 74° and a low of 50° (above normal)
Christmas 2022 had a high of 48° and a low of 26° (significantly below normal)
Christmas 2021 had a high of 77° and a low of 57° (significantly above normal)
Christmas 2020 had a high of 51° and a low of 29° (significantly below normal)
