.DISCUSSION...
Another clear, calm, cool night for east central Florida as temps
drop into the mid to upper 40s, except in the low 40s across the
rural interior, and near 50 degrees in Martin County. Temps return
to seasonal values for Christmas Eve into Christmas Day with no 
rain in the forecast.

Historical Tidbit: If you think it's cold outside now, you may 
want to talk to someone who was around at this time in either 1983
or 1989. Looking back at historical records, all but one of the 
low temperature records for December 23, 24, 25, and 26 occurred 
in either 1983 or 1989. Low temps dropped into the upper teens to
low 20s for consecutive days in east central Florida, and high 
temps struggled to reach the 40s at times. Both of these cold 
spells were devastating hard freeze events that caused 
catastrophic impacts across much of Florida; in fact, these were 
two of the five major freezes to impact the state in the 1980s.

.AVIATION...
VFR. Potential for fog development seems to have diminished due 
to the presence of high level clouds. However, there may still be 
some MIFG (shallow fog on the runways) that briefly develops 
around sunrise at KMCO/KISM/KLEE, but confidence is too low to 
include as a TEMPO group in TAFs at this time.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure shifting eastward overnight with light, variable
winds becoming northeast around 10-15 knots by Monday afternoon. 
Initial seas of 1-2 feet increase up to 3 feet in the offshore 
waters.
