Tallahassee, Florida – Severe thunderstorms are set to roll into the Tallahassee region Thursday, July 24th, bringing drenching rains and a summer heat index soaring near 105°F. Drivers on US-319 and area roadways should expect changing conditions and possible water buildup from afternoon storms.

According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop after 2 p.m. Thursday, with some cells capable of producing heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. Thunderstorms may continue through the evening, with southeast winds shifting to south winds around 5 mph as the front passes.

Local impacts will be immediate: roads like US-319, US-90, and I-10 near Tallahassee could see reduced visibility and slick surfaces during downpours. City residents should plan for delays and avoid unnecessary travel when storms move through. Charge devices now and have a flashlight ready, as isolated outages are possible.
