Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Iona, FL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1251 PM EST Sat Jan 24 2026 Weak high pressure remains over the region today and tomorrow, with increasingly warm and humid conditions across the region ahead of the next frontal boundary. By tomorrow afternoon, high temperatures will reach the upper 80s (near records) for some interior locations while coastal areas stay in the upper 70s. The front will move through the area late Sunday into Monday, bringing showers and a couple of storms (mainly for the Nature Coast) across the state.
Rain should come to an end by the afternoon, with gusty north winds then bringing in a much colder and drier air mass for the week.

As far as temperatures, Monday afternoon will be breezy and cooler, then Monday night will see lows in the upper 20s for the Nature Coast, with mid 30s to lower 40s elsewhere. Winds will still be a little breezy, so wind chills will dip into the 20s/lower 30s for most of the area as well. Tuesday afternoon will then be sunny and cooler followed by another night of cold temperatures, but with calmer wind. The rest of the work week really features much of the same as another boundary comes through Wednesday night into Thursday, reinforcing the cooler and drier air.
