Florida — A blanket of early clouds sits over North Florida this morning, keeping the air mild and slightly humid ahead of one of the busiest travel days of the year. While a few light showers may dot the area through mid-morning, sunshine is on the way—and with it, an ideal stretch of weather for Thanksgiving travelers across the Panhandle.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, a cold front is slowly approaching from the northwest but won’t make its full push through until late Wednesday. That means highs will still climb into the upper 70s, with a few isolated showers or a stray thunderstorm possible before midday. Once the front passes, winds shift north, humidity drops, and cooler, clearer air takes over.
Thanksgiving Day will be a postcard-perfect autumn day in Florida: sunny skies, low humidity, and a crisp breeze. Temperatures will top out near 62°F, and by evening, they’ll fall into the upper 30s, marking one of the coolest nights of the month.
Black Friday shoppers will step out to chilly morning air—lows near 36°F—before the sun warms things back to the upper 50s. The trend continues through the weekend with clear skies and daytime highs around 60–65°F, perfect for football, outdoor dining, or early Christmas decorating.
Looking ahead, models suggest a major Arctic front could slide across the U.S. between December 1–5, bringing a more pronounced chill—even to the Deep South. For now, though, Tallahassee’s Thanksgiving weather offers a pleasant pause before early winter patterns begin taking hold across the country.
