Jacksonville, FL – A warm and wetter-than-normal pattern is setting up across Florida from Nov. 29th through Dec. 5th, bringing multiple rounds of rain as early December begins.
According to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, temperatures will run above normal across all of Florida, including Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Orlando, Tampa Bay, and South Florida. Warm, humid air will dominate the region, ensuring that all precipitation falls as rain, with no winter weather concerns.
NOAA’s precipitation outlook also shows a strong signal for above-normal precipitation statewide, suggesting a series of disturbances may cross the Gulf and Atlantic during the week. Jacksonville and the I-95 corridor of North Florida may see frequent rain, with occasional heavy downpours capable of slowing commutes.
Central Florida — including Orlando, Kissimmee, The Villages, and Daytona Beach — is also expected to see multiple rainy periods, with isolated thunderstorms possible depending on daytime heating and moisture levels.
The Gulf Coast — from Tallahassee to Tampa to Fort Myers — may experience some of the highest rainfall totals, especially if deeper tropical moisture funnels inland. South Florida — including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach — will also see steady rain intervals but fewer temperature changes.
This is not a single major storm system but rather a multi-day wet pattern, which may bring reduced visibility, slick roads, and minor flooding in poor-drainage areas or during high-tide cycles.
As December begins, Florida residents should prepare for a mild, humid, and rain-heavy stretch.
