The December chill continues to settle across the Panhandle this morning, coating lawns and rooftops with a silvery glaze in the coldest rural spots. Temperatures in Tallahassee start near 40°F, with light north winds and a patchy frost expected to develop again by early Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, clear skies and calm winds overnight will allow for lows dipping into the mid-30s, particularly in low-lying and inland areas. A Patchy Frost Advisory may be needed if temperatures fall closer to freezing before sunrise Wednesday. Gardeners and residents should cover sensitive plants and bring pets indoors as this early-season cold snap continues.
Daytime highs will recover into the mid-60s by Wednesday and Thursday, under bright sunshine and dry air. Winds will gradually turn west-southwest by Thursday afternoon, marking the beginning of a subtle warm-up. By Friday, highs will climb toward 67°F, and weekend afternoons could reach the low 70s — a comfortable finish to the week as high pressure dominates the region.
Meteorologists say this type of “winter tease” is common for North Florida in early December, as cool, dry air from the Midwest briefly filters south before warmer air rebounds. For now, mornings remain crisp and evenings chilly — perfect for outdoor walks, early decorating, or cozy fires at home.
