BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2025) — Boca Raton stays dry and bright today with a high near 79, but a stronger cold front early this week will bring noticeably cooler, breezier air into the New Year.
Today’s Weather – Sunday, December 28, 2025
Boca Raton wakes up to a quiet Sunday forecast — the kind that makes the beaches look inviting early and keeps the I-95 corridor moving without any weather drama. The National Weather Service call for today is simple: sunny skies and a warm afternoon high near 79.
Winds start out light and variable, then settle into a north wind around 6 mph as the morning gets going. That’s enough to keep the air feeling a little cleaner along the Intracoastal and the barrier island, but not enough to kick up much. It’s an easy weather day for Glades Road, Lyons Road, and the western suburbs — dry roads, bright sun, and no rain in the plan.
Tonight stays calm too. Skies go mostly clear with an overnight low around 64, and winds stay light and variable. If you’re out late, it’s the kind of night where it cools off gradually — you notice it more after midnight than at dinnertime.
Behind the scenes, the bigger story is the pattern shift lining up early in the week. Forecasters describe a dry, stable setup in the short term — high pressure and ridging keeping South Florida generally sunny and quiet — but they’re also flagging a strong cold front approaching and pushing down the peninsula. For Boca, that means today and Monday still feel like the last stretch of “nice, seasonal warmth,” then the bottom drops out a bit on temperatures once the front passes.
One hazard worth noting from the forecast discussion is dense fog expected Sunday and Monday mornings across parts of the region — especially Southwest Florida — with visibilities potentially dropping below a quarter mile and creating hazardous driving conditions. The aviation discussion also notes fog affecting inland portions at times this morning and again late overnight, while coastal areas remain generally in good shape. If you’re heading inland early — especially before sunrise and into the first part of the morning commute window — slow down, keep headlights on, and expect sudden pockets of low visibility.
Rain is not part of today’s forecast for Boca. The broader forecast guidance keeps rain chances near zero through Monday, with any showers tied mainly to the frontal passage and most of that activity expected to stay focused over the local waters.
On the water and at the beach, conditions are still manageable today but trending rougher as the week progresses. Marine conditions are light to moderate northerly winds today with seas generally at or below 3 feet. That changes quickly once the front approaches. By Tuesday into Wednesday, winds increase out of the north up to 15–20 knots, and seas build into the 5–7 foot range. If you’ve got boating plans, today is the easier window. Early week becomes more of a “check twice before you go” setup.
For beachgoers, the Palm Beaches are under a moderate risk of rip currents this weekend as swell increases. Even on a sunny day, that’s the kind of detail that matters, especially with kids in the water or anyone swimming near unguarded stretches.
Bottom line: Boca gets the clean, sunny version of winter today. Dry air. Comfortable warmth. A little cooling at night. Then the front arrives early this week and starts the New Year with cooler, drier air and a noticeable uptick in wind.
Current Advisories / Watches / Warnings
- Areas of dense fog expected Sunday and Monday mornings across Southwest Florida; visibilities could drop below a quarter of a mile, creating hazardous driving conditions.
- Moderate risk of rip currents for the Palm Beaches this weekend as swell increases.
