Cold weather advisory issued for SW Florida as 2025 wraps up with coldest air of season

Get ready for the coldest air of the season overnight, with low temperatures Wednesday morning ranging from the low 40s near the coast to near-freezing for some of our inland neighborhoods.

With the wind factored in, it will feel even colder. A cold weather advisory is in effect from midnight until 9 a.m. Wednesday for most of Southwest Florida.

New Year's Eve will stay unseasonably cool, with daytime highs only reaching the mid-60s.

If you are heading out to celebrate the New Year, make sure to bundle up. Temperatures at midnight will be in the mid-40s, so get ready for a cold start to 2026!

We will be slow to warm back up with seasonal highs in the mid-70s returning for the weekend. Slim rain chances will return this weekend as a weak cold front works through the Gulf Coast.
