Tallahassee, FL — A calm, golden sunrise stretches across the pine trees this Friday morning as the Florida Panhandle wakes to cool air and clear skies. The week’s early chill has lifted, and warm sunshine now rules the end of October.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, the region will stay sunny and mild through Saturday, with highs around 83°F Friday and slightly cooler at 80°F Saturday. Light northeast winds will keep humidity comfortable and skies nearly cloud-free — perfect for outdoor events, football games, and last-minute yard projects before Halloween week.
By Sunday afternoon, conditions begin to shift. Clouds will thicken as moisture drifts north from the Gulf, leading to a 40% chance of showers and isolated storms Sunday night. A few of these could linger into Monday, especially along and west of I-10, though rainfall totals should remain light.
After the passing system, skies clear again by Tuesday with highs in the upper 70s and a refreshing northerly breeze. For now, the Panhandle stays firmly in its fall rhythm — bright, dry days followed by mild, breezy evenings.
Looking ahead, long-range models hint at a cooler push near Halloween Friday (October 31), possibly bringing the season’s first real cold snap to North Florida.
To be fair, this weekend’s warmth may feel more like late summer than fall, but the subtle shift toward winter prep mode has begun.
