Florida – Rain taps rooftops and streaks windshields this morning across the Big Bend as low clouds press close to the ground. Visibility drops at times, and wet pavement creates a slow start for drivers heading out early.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, showers and a few thunderstorms move through the area through mid-afternoon. Rainfall may be heavy at times, with brief ponding on roads and reduced visibility. Patchy fog develops later tonight, adding another layer of travel concern, especially along Capital Circle, U.S. 27, and I-10.
Temperatures climb into the low 70s today, keeping conditions mild despite the rain. Winds remain light, but sudden downpours could still catch drivers off guard. Plan extra time and avoid standing water where it collects quickly.
Sunday starts with areas of fog before brighter skies take over. Sunshine helps dry roads and pushes highs into the mid-60s. Conditions improve steadily through the day, offering a calmer feel across Leon County and surrounding areas.
The first full week of 2026 trends warmer and quieter. Monday turns mostly sunny with highs near 68. Tuesday and Wednesday bring even more warmth, with afternoon temperatures rising into the low-to-mid 70s. Nights stay mild, limiting any Winter-related hazards.
While much of the country deals with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, North Florida remains on the warmer edge of the national pattern. For Tallahassee, the main concern centers on rain-soaked roads and fog rather than cold weather impacts.
Drivers should stay alert through today, especially during heavier showers and foggy periods. Conditions calm quickly afterward, setting up a smooth start to the New Year. Seeing fog or heavy rain where you are? Let us know what travel looks like.
