Overview

  • Snowflakes could reach the Tallahassee area as early as dawn Sunday, with some guidance showing a trace to roughly 1–3 inches across parts of North Florida and South Georgia.
  • Central and South Florida are not expected to see snow or ice from this system, though temperatures will tumble late Sunday into Monday.
  • Frost advisories are in effect northwest of the I-4 corridor Friday night, including parts of Marion County, as winds ease and lows dip into the 30s.
  • Saturday turns briefly warmer before the front arrives Sunday, bringing a band of rain followed by gusty northwest winds and a sharp cooldown.
  • Rainfall totals look light overall, generally under a quarter inch for most areas with up to about a half inch possible in western Marion County, setting up a very cold Monday morning.
