TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The coldest of the recent cold snap is behind us. While it will still be suitable to have sweaters and jackets on late at night and early in the morning, overall temperature trends tonight won't be drastically different from an average night before Christmas Eve.
It will be variably clear to cloudy this evening, then more clouds will fill in overnight. Evening readings will fall into the 50s and 40s, with minimum temps at sunrise in the lower 40s.
Clouds may be slow to break before midday, but a general increase in sunshine is forecast for the afternoon.
When the family settles in for the evening, stories are told, and the kiddos are sent to bed on the night before Christmas, it will be cooling down through the 50s with areas of clear sky and some clouds. Christmas morning won't be all too cold, with temps in the mid 40s to around 50°. It'll be partly cloudy to partly sunny on Christmas Day with highs near 70°.
A slight chance for scattered showers exists Thursday. The pattern favors cold fronts coming close to the area for a few days, but not making clean sweeps, meaning it will be mild with scattered clouds and a few chances for showers through the weekend.
