Here’s when you can expect storms on Christmas Eve

A few storms could be strong Christmas Eve evening

ORLANDO, Fla. – The coldest air Central Florida has felt in almost three years will be ushered in by a strong cold front Christmas Eve. While the coldest of the air doesn’t settle in until Saturday morning, the chill will blast in late Christmas Eve.

A few stray showers will be possible ahead of the cold front Thursday, but most stay dry through the first half of the day. By dinner Christmas Eve, a line of thunderstorms will be approaching the I-75 corridor. A few storms could be strong with isolated damaging wind gusts the main threat. The best chance for a strong storm or two will be from 5 p.m. through 10 p.m.

Sunshine returns for all later Christmas morning, but it will be windy and very cold.
