Tallahassee, FL – Florida's capital is heading toward a noticeable November cooldown, with temperatures swinging from the upper 70s to near 40 degrees by the weekend. Residents enjoying mild afternoons will soon need jackets for chilly mornings and evenings.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, temperatures will reach approximately 77 degrees Wednesday and 78 degrees Thursday before colder air settles across North Florida.
The biggest change arrives Friday, when afternoon temperatures fall to around 64 degrees. By Friday night, readings are expected to drop to 41 degrees, with Saturday night approaching 40.
A 37 Degree Temperature Swing Takes Shape Thursday offers one final stretch of warmer weather, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 78 degrees.
West winds could gust as high as 20 mph Thursday. Northwest winds continue Thursday night and Friday as colder air moves into the region.
Friday's high of 64 degrees represents a 14 degree decline from Thursday's peak.
The cooler pattern becomes especially noticeable after sunset.
Saturday brings sunshine and a high near 61 degrees, but temperatures fall toward 40 degrees Saturday night.
That creates a 37 degree difference between Thursday's afternoon high and Saturday night's expected low.
What the Cold Means for North Florida The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center is tracking a major cold air outbreak across the eastern United States.
Its national discussion highlights freezing temperatures spreading into portions of the South. However, Tallahassee's local forecast keeps temperatures above freezing through the weekend.
That distinction matters.
No snow, ice or freezing temperatures are indicated in Tallahassee's supplied five day forecast. A flash freeze threat is not supported by the current local outlook.
Drivers should instead prepare for cooler early departures and changing wind conditions. Residents can also use the remaining warmer afternoons to finish yardwork and secure loose outdoor items.
For now, sunshine dominates the weekend, making outdoor activities possible with an extra layer of clothing.
