Tallahassee, Florida – Severe thunderstorms and extreme heat could disrupt Sunday plans across Florida’s capital as Tallahassee braces for a summer weather alert. With a high of 95°F and heat index values possibly soaring to 107°, outdoor activities may become dangerous, especially along major routes like I-10 and city streets after 2 p.m. Residents should prepare for rapidly changing conditions, flooded roads, and the risk of power outages as storms develop.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely Sunday afternoon, particularly after 2 p.m., with rain chances peaking at 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half an inch are possible. Local officials urge residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor exposure, and avoid non-essential travel during the storm window. Winds will shift northwest in the afternoon, but any breeze will offer little relief from the oppressive humidity.
Storms are expected to continue into Sunday night before skies briefly clear. The unsettled pattern persists as Monday brings another round of intense heat—high near 97°F—and more scattered storms after 11 a.m. Each day through midweek holds similar risks: hot, muggy afternoons followed by recurring rounds of heavy rain and lightning. Tuesday’s high remains near 96°F with a 90% chance of thunderstorms after 8 a.m. Even as temperatures drop slightly by Wednesday, showers and thunderstorms stick around, keeping the region on alert.
