Tallahassee, Florida – Thunderstorms could disrupt midweek travel in North Florida as a high-impact system targets Tallahassee with heavy rain and possible lightning Wednesday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, rain is likely to begin before 2 p.m. Wednesday, intensifying between 2 and 5 p.m. Thunderstorms may bring downpours totaling up to half an inch. Winds will shift from the east to southeast at 5 to 10 mph. The storm risk extends into Wednesday night, tapering before sunrise Thursday.
Drivers should avoid unnecessary travel on US-27 and I-10 during peak storm hours due to potential road spray and ponding. Flash flooding isn’t expected, but localized downpours could quickly overwhelm drains in low-lying areas. If lightning occurs, move indoors and delay outdoor work or sports.
Thursday keeps the storm train rolling, with rain and thunderstorms possible by late morning and peaking near 5 p.m. Patchy fog may follow into early Friday morning. Friday and Saturday bring another round of storms, with daytime highs rising to 94°F and a 70% rain chance both days. Thunderstorms may clear by Saturday night but return again Sunday.
