Florida – Cold air presses down on North Florida this morning, and Tallahassee feels it immediately. Lawns glitter with frost, windshields scrape white, and breath fogs the air in near-silence. Winter has pushed deep into the Panhandle, delivering one of the colder mornings of February.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, temperatures dropped to around 28 degrees before sunrise. Widespread frost developed across Leon County and nearby inland areas. Calm winds allowed cold air to settle efficiently, raising concerns for plants, pets, and exposed plumbing through the morning hours.
Drivers heading out early should remain cautious. While roads remain mostly dry, bridges and shaded areas can turn slick briefly during the coldest part of the morning. Give yourself extra time, especially on secondary roads and elevated surfaces.
Conditions improve later today as sunshine takes hold. Highs climb into the mid-60s, quickly melting frost and easing the chill. The break is brief. Clouds increase tonight, setting the stage for a wetter pattern midweek.
Rain chances rise sharply Wednesday, with showers becoming likely by afternoon. Highs reach the mid-60s before cooler air returns Wednesday night. By Thursday, drier air moves in, but another cold night follows, with lows near freezing once again.
Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures trend milder, with sunshine returning and highs climbing into the upper 60s and lower 70s. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook points to above-normal temperatures late next week, hinting that this stretch of winter cold may be one of the last stronger intrusions of the season.
