Florida greets the morning with a rare chill, where car roofs glisten and lawns crunch lightly underfoot. Patchy frost formed before sunrise across parts of North Florida, a brief winter reminder before a much warmer pattern takes over heading toward the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, frost was possible early this morning before clouds increased. Temperatures rebound quickly today, climbing into the mid-60s with light winds. The cold start fades fast, but sensitive plants may have felt the bite before dawn.
Clouds thicken tonight with lows settling near the upper 40s. Conditions stay dry, and winds remain calm, making for a quiet night across Leon County and surrounding areas.
Thursday marks a clear shift. Sunshine mixes with passing clouds, and highs surge into the low to mid-70s. By Thursday night, skies turn mostly clear again, keeping conditions mild and calm.
Friday stays warm and mostly dry, though a few spotty showers could develop late. Highs reach the low 70s, feeling more like early spring than late January. The pattern turns wetter heading into Saturday night.
Saturday brings increasing clouds with a slight chance of showers. Roads may turn damp at times, especially during the evening. Sunday looks more unsettled, with showers becoming likely and highs falling back into the mid-60s. Plan outdoor activities earlier in the day if possible.
