Florida Winter Weather Forecast Predicts Likelihood of Frosty Winter

The Florida winter forecast is here from weather experts, and if you're in the area all winter, you're likely curious about what to expect. Of course, Florida is the state that everyone flocks to in the winter to escape snow and cold, but sometimes, it can get quite chilly. Florida can even get frost. So, if you're in Florida or planning to head down there for the winter, you're going to want to hear the latest Florida winter weather forecast. Here's what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says about what to expect for this winter.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its latest prediction for the 2024-25 winter, and it's an interesting one. Most of the country, according to the forecast, is on target to be likely warmed this coming winter, but a small part of the U.S. will be notably colder. Thankfully, that area isn't close, as it's in the northwestern part of the country, mainly the state of Washington. As for moisture, about half of the country is set to have more moisture than normal while the other half is looking at drier conditions. So, most areas of the country are looking to see at least temperatures or moisture different than what the National Weather Service considers normal.

It's worth adding that the Farmer's Almanac, in general, predicts temperatures up and snowfall down for most of the country this season. "This winter, temperatures will be up and snowfall down throughout most of the United States," Carol Connare, the Almanac’s editor-in-chief, said. "While there will still be plenty of chilly temperatures and snow for most slopes, the high heating costs associated with the season shouldn’t hit so hard." Connare added that they're predicting "temperate, uneventful winter—potentially a welcome reprieve from the extremes of recent years." I like the sound of that.

So, for the Florida weather forecast, the state is looking at an above normal change of hotter temperatures, with a 60%-70% chance of those warmer temperatures for the state. The state is among the warmest as far as predictions or the entire winter, with about half of the U.S. looking at equal chances or a colder or warmer winter. As for precipitation, in the state is predicted to have an equal chance of having a higher chance of having a dry season. So, Florida is looking at hotter and drier temperatures for the winter, according to the NOAA, and that could mean a lower chance of frost.
