Florida – A crisp chill hangs over north Florida this morning as clear skies allow temperatures to slide well below seasonal norms. Lawns sparkle with dew, car roofs feel icy to the touch, and the air carries a late-winter bite unusual for this region.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, early readings sit in the low 40s with light winds offering little protection from the cold. Temperatures rebound into the lower 60s this afternoon, but the bigger concern arrives late tonight into early Sunday morning. Lows are expected to dip near 34 degrees, with patchy frost possible across Leon County and surrounding inland areas.
In Tallahassee, gardeners and growers should prepare now. Tender plants, exposed irrigation lines, and outdoor pets may be impacted by the brief freeze window. While widespread damage is not expected, localized frost can form quickly in low-lying areas and sheltered neighborhoods. Drivers heading out early should also watch for light condensation on bridges and overpasses.
Sunday brings quick improvement. Sunshine dominates, and highs climb into the mid-60s by afternoon. That warming trend accelerates to start the workweek. By Monday, temperatures reach near 70, signaling a sharp pattern shift across the Southeast as warmer air pushes east.
Tuesday and Wednesday continue the springlike rebound, with highs in the low to mid-70s. Clouds increase midweek, and a slight rain chance appears Wednesday afternoon, but no major disruptions are expected. Looking farther ahead, above-normal temperatures appear likely through late next week, reinforcing signs that winter’s grip is loosening across Florida.
For now, cover plants tonight, bring pets indoors, and enjoy the calm, sunny conditions today. Feeling the chill this morning? Let us know how cold it got in your neighborhood.
