The Storm Prediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk of severe weather for most of east central Florida. A strengthening low pressure system was moving across the southeastern U.S. with a strong cold front extending southwest across the Gulf of Mexico. A potent jet stream moved towards Florida with winds of  145 mph, at the same time a low-level jet situated along the cold front moved over the Florida peninsula with winds of 55-70 mph. The rapid increase and turning of winds with height in the atmosphere led to very high wind shear over Florida. Also, a surge of moisture and daytime heating led to an increase in instability over east central Florida that aided strong to severe thunderstorm development. By early morning, a squall line of thunderstorms began to move onshore in west central Florida and quickly push east across the peninsula. A severe thunderstorm embedded within the line caused damage to a home in Leesburg. In the early afternoon, as the line approached the Brevard County coast, a couple of severe wind gusts were reported west of Cape Canaveral. Lastly, during the late afternoon strong winds caused a tree to fall over onto a shed in Stuart.

Areas of dense fog formed during the morning of December 27 as clear skies and light winds prevailed over the San Joaquin Valley. The fog resulted in some minor vehicle accidents in the Fresno area as the fog reduced visibility to a few hundred feet. However, the fog dissipated in the San Joaquin Valley by late morning as a cold front pushed southward through central California. Areas of dense fog persisted through the early afternoon along the valley facing slopes of the Tehachapi Mountains as a result of strong upslope flow that accompanied the front. The cold front also produced a period of gusty winds along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley as well as along and below the passes in Kern County where several stations measured gusts above 35 mph.
