Florida – A layer of silver frost coats rooftops and windshields this morning across North Florida, signaling one of the coldest starts of December so far. Temperatures in Tallahassee dipped near 32°F, with fog and patchy frost reducing early visibility and adding a slick glaze to bridges and shaded roads.
By midmorning, sunshine breaks through, and the chill begins to fade. Highs reach the mid-60s today, offering a crisp but comfortable December afternoon. Still, residents are urged to protect sensitive plants and outdoor pets as another cold night settles in. Lows near 34°F are expected again tonight, with frost likely before dawn Thursday.
The cold pattern holds through Friday before a steady warm-up begins this weekend. Expect sunny skies and highs near 70°F by Saturday and even low 70s by Sunday, perfect for outdoor plans or holiday decorating. Winds stay light through the period, keeping conditions pleasant for drivers along I-10 and Highway 90.
While much of the nation braces for snow, the Southeast enjoys its own brand of winter — quiet mornings, bright skies, and brisk air. For now, meteorologists say no rain is expected through early next week, giving Tallahassee a stretch of dry, sunny December weather.
Action tip: Let your car warm up for a minute before heading out. Early frost can reduce windshield clarity and create slick driveway spots.
