Issued at 148 PM EST Fri Nov 6 2026
We are currently seeing a cold front slowly pushing through the panhandle. Ahead of the frontal system we are seeing southerly winds and warmer temperatures. Most of us across West Central Florida are seeing temperatures in the mid 80's this afternoon.
The cold front in the panhandle will push through the state overnight and start bringing some drier air to the state throughout the day on Saturday. We will still see temperatures above normal with highs in the low to mid 80's. The cooler air will filter in Saturday night with lows on Sunday from the mid 50's to mid 60's and highs around 80 degrees. High pressure will also be settling in keeping the pleasant weather in place through the first half our work week. Temperatures should remain around average with lows in the 60's and highs around 80 degrees.
Another quick moving cold front will push through the area on Wednesday this will help to bring temperatures slightly below average. We can expect highs around the mid 70's Thursday afternoon.
