Nature is bringing the holiday cheer across Tampa Bay this year with temperatures expected to be near normal. Much of the rest of the country will be warmer than normal with no sign of any arctic outbreaks. The polar vortex that can bring us much colder weather in Florida stays well to the north of the Arctic Circle. At the same time, a nice big ridge of high pressure through the center part of the country will keep any strong, big, bad, Grinch-like cold fronts or storm systems from organizing, keeping things on the festive side. So, you can get out and rock around the Christmas Tree in your holiday flip-flops.
