Tallahassee, FL – A surge of tropical moisture is pushing into North Florida, setting up a stormy stretch for Tallahassee through Wednesday afternoon. With a 90% chance of thunderstorms expected by 2 p.m. Tuesday and continuing into early Wednesday evening, residents should prepare for sudden downpours, lightning, and possible localized flooding along I-10 and major city routes.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms will develop Tuesday afternoon and again Wednesday, with the strongest storms likely mid to late afternoon. Rainfall amounts may exceed a quarter-inch, with isolated areas seeing higher totals. Calm winds becoming southerly around 5 mph will enhance moisture convergence, increasing storm intensity.
Drivers should avoid flooded roads and allow extra time for commutes during peak storm periods. Outdoor activities, including early July 4th celebrations, may need adjusting due to the soggy setup. Use caution near low-lying areas and charge devices ahead of potential power flickers.
By Thursday, skies begin to clear slightly, but afternoon storms will remain a risk. Friday brings another 50% chance of thunderstorms before a sunnier pattern briefly returns Saturday.
