Tallahassee, Florida – Drier conditions and well above-normal temperatures could impact Florida Feb. 18-22, limiting rainfall statewide.
According to the National Weather Service 6-10 Day Outlook issued Thursday, Feb. 12, precipitation across Florida is expected to trend below seasonal averages during the Feb. 18-22 period. Meanwhile, temperatures carry an 80-90% probability of running above normal, signaling a sustained warm pattern across the peninsula.
Most of the state, including Miami, Orlando and Tampa, is expected to see limited rainfall during the period. Any isolated showers that develop are not expected to produce widespread impacts.
With temperatures trending well above average, winter precipitation is not a concern across Florida. Afternoon highs could climb above seasonal norms across central and southern counties, reinforcing early springlike conditions.
The broader weather pattern supports more active precipitation and snowfall potential farther north across portions of the Midwest and interior Northeast. Across Florida and much of the Southeast, the dominant signal favors warmth and reduced rainfall.
For commuters, students and travelers returning after President’s Day week, mainly dry conditions could support smoother travel along Interstate 95, Interstate 75 and Florida’s Turnpike, with minimal weather-related disruptions expected.
The National Weather Service notes that 6-10 day outlooks reflect probability trends rather than exact temperature or rainfall totals. Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts for refined details as the period approaches.
