before noon
Prior to midday
Before noon refers to the morning hours, any time from midnight until 12:00 p.m.: The package should arrive before noon.
The phrase often implies a deadline or expectation about timing: Can you have this finished before noon?
It's synonymous with the more formal a.m. or the phrase "in the morning."
