Tallahassee, Florida – Thunderstorms and steady rainfall are soaking the tri-state region today, with rain totals climbing to 2–3 inches through Sunday and flooding possible in low-lying areas across Florida’s Big Bend and parts of south Georgia.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, the heaviest rain is expected this afternoon and again Thursday, with widespread showers continuing into early next week. Some areas could see isolated higher totals between 4–6 inches, particularly in spots like Apalachicola, Panama City, and Valdosta, where poor drainage increases the risk of flooding.
Rain chances exceed 70% daily across key cities such as Albany, Dothan, Cross City, and Bainbridge. Emergency planners urge residents to stay alert for water on roads and to avoid travel through flooded areas. “Turn around, don’t drown,” officials warned, citing a marginal risk of excessive rainfall through Sunday.
If you have outdoor events planned this weekend, prepare for delays or cancellations. With saturated soil and repeated storms, even minor downpours could cause issues.
Rain chances stay high into early next week, and more advisories may follow if rainfall rates increase.
