Travel Disruptions Expected in Florida this Christmas, According to AAA Predictions Travelers in Florida are in for a season of crowded roads as the National Automobile Club of America (AAA) predicts that more than 7. 1 million passengers will hit the road in the state this holiday season. This represents a significant increase of 220,000 more travelers than the previous record high, set last year.
Experts warn that while the prospect of inclement weather may seem daunting, drivers in Florida can expect a different kind of weather altogether. Unlike areas of the country that will experience snow and ice, Florida's climate will be characterized by temperatures ranging from seasonable to above-average throughout the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, temperatures are forecast to be on the higher side... with a possibility of showers on Christmas Day along the east coast and parts of Southwest Florida. While these conditions are unlikely to make for a Christmas Day as chilly as those in colder climates, temperatures may still dip below 80 degrees, with lows potentially reaching into the upper 50s, even after sunset.
However, wintery attire may not be necessary in most parts of the state, with mid-70s temperatures expected in areas like Orlando's theme parks. Travelers in Florida are advised to exercise caution and plan accordingly. GPS apps such as Waze, "Apple Maps.".. and Google Maps can provide up-to-date information on potential traffic congestion and routing to avoid problem areas.
By being aware of these potential disruptions and preparing accordingly, "travelers can minimize any inconvenience to their holiday plans."
