TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — With the latest batch of cold air coming behind Friday's late-day cold front, early Saturday morning readings will bottom out in the mid to upper 30s. Like recent mornings, there can be patchy frost forming around sunrise.

There will be sunshine galore when the high-pressure system comes close to and over the region today. The cold air with it will cap highs in the 50s to lower 60s.

The high-pressure zone will be swiftly on the move toight and Sunday morning. Eastern locations will see the 30s once more, but extra clouds in western areas will prevent lows from getting to that level. Reduced sunshine is anticipated Sunday daytime with south winds and highs in the mid 60s. A couple of showers are possible by nightfall.

The bulk of local rain and isolated storms will come from the next cold front, entering Monday morning. A strong storm is possible in interior southwestern Georgia but overall local severe-weather risks will be limited and minimal. That Monday front will pull in an Arctic air mass that will create a string of mornings below freezing in the midweek time frame.
