Tallahassee, FL – Fall weather is taking center stage across Florida’s capital region as residents wake up to crisp, calm air and a week of sunshine ahead. After a cool start near 53°F this morning, forecasters say mild afternoons and clear skies will define the days leading into the weekend — a welcome forecast for holiday travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Columbus Day brings a high near 85°F with light northwest breezes. Conditions remain mostly clear through the week, offering picture-perfect days for fall events, leaf viewing, and local pumpkin patches. Those planning to drive along U.S. Highway 90 or Interstate 10 can expect smooth, dry travel conditions through Friday.
Tuesday and Wednesday will stay bright and comfortable, with highs around 85°F and lows dipping into the upper 50s. By Thursday, cooler air slides in slightly, holding daytime highs near 84°F before Friday settles near 83°F. The next chance of showers — a modest 30 percent — could return by Sunday as moisture builds from the Gulf.
This week’s forecast marks an ideal time for early Halloween decorating or park visits, with no rain or wind disruptions expected. Locals should still check daily forecasts for updates, especially as the next cool front approaches late weekend.
