TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Drivers across North Florida should prepare for a sweltering start to the week, with temperatures holding near 93 degrees through Tuesday. While skies stay mostly sunny, the first signs of fall storms return midweek, threatening afternoon travel on major routes, including I-10 near Tallahassee.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, the weekend closes with partly cloudy skies Sunday night, followed by highs in the low 90s Monday and Tuesday. Calm winds and mostly dry conditions will keep roads clear, but by Wednesday, storm chances increase to 30 percent after 2 p.m. The mix of heat and humidity could create slick roads and sudden downpours, slowing traffic during the evening commute.
Residents should use the clear stretch through Tuesday to complete outdoor projects or errands before conditions turn unsettled. Afternoon storms Wednesday and Thursday may bring brief heavy rainfall, and officials advise drivers to watch for reduced visibility and standing water along highways. Charging devices, securing outdoor items, and planning ahead for slower commutes can help reduce disruptions when storms move in.
By Friday, rain chances climb to 50 percent, with highs easing into the upper 80s. While not a severe weather setup, repeated rounds of showers could disrupt outdoor events and weekend travel across Leon County and surrounding communities.
Clear skies and hot afternoons define the short term, but fall-like shifts begin midweek. More advisories may follow if storm coverage expands.
