Tallahassee, Florida – Storm chances rise sharply heading into the weekend as warm, humid air fuels springtime instability across Tallahassee and surrounding counties.
According to the National Weather Service, the region will remain mostly sunny and dry through Thursday evening, with high temperatures reaching near 87°F by Wednesday and 86°F on Thursday. But by Friday afternoon, a 20% chance of storms returns — and by Saturday, that risk jumps to 50%, bringing the possibility of heavy rain, thunder, and hazardous driving on roads like US-319 and I-10.
Wednesday brings light southeast breezes up to 10 mph, with humidity increasing late in the day. Drivers should stay alert for brief downpours and potential lightning by the weekend. While storms are not expected to be severe, any thunderstorm could produce gusty winds or localized street flooding, especially in low-lying areas of Tallahassee, Woodville, and Fort Braden.
If you have outdoor weekend plans or travel along major highways, monitor weather apps and be ready to adjust. Residents are advised to secure loose items, check windshield wipers, and prepare for reduced visibility during storm periods.
