Florida – A damp stillness hangs over Tallahassee this morning, the air thick with that early-December humidity that signals another change on the way. By midmorning, skies will darken as moisture surges north from the Gulf, bringing a renewed threat for showers, fog, and thunder through the weekend. Windshields may fog quickly, and travelers along I-10 and U.S. 319 should stay alert for reduced visibility through Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service Tallahassee office, showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop today, lasting through Sunday evening. Most areas can expect a half-inch of rain, though heavier pockets could form during Saturday’s rounds of storms. Patchy fog, especially near low-lying rural routes and wooded stretches, could make early drives slow and hazardous. Winds remain light but variable, adding to that sticky, unsettled feel before a mild cooldown early next week.
Meteorologists caution that the moisture pattern setting up this weekend marks a broader Gulf disturbance likely to bring multiple rounds of December rain. The system’s trailing edge may drop another quick burst of showers late Sunday before clearer air returns Monday. Afternoon highs hover near 70°F throughout, but damp air and dense clouds may make it feel cooler at times.
Residents planning holiday errands or weekend travel should keep umbrellas handy and drive cautiously on slick pavement. Ponding is possible in city streets and neighborhood intersections, especially during heavier showers Saturday night.
