TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – North Florida drivers will face sweltering afternoons as temperatures climb into the low 90s through midweek, keeping roads dry but raising heat risks during peak travel times.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, sunny skies will dominate Tuesday, September 16, with a high near 90. East-northeast winds around 5 mph will provide little relief, while overnight lows remain in the upper 60s. Officials advise limiting strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day and keeping hydrated as the early fall heat lingers.
Commuters along I-10 and U.S. 27 should expect steady travel conditions, with no rain or storms in the short term. The extended dry spell will help roadways remain clear, though rising humidity could still strain those working outdoors. Emergency managers recommend checking vehicle cooling systems and ensuring pets have shade and water during the hot afternoons.
Wednesday and Thursday will continue the sunny trend, with highs climbing near 91 to 92. Nights remain mild, hovering between 66 and 69 degrees. Clouds begin to build late in the week, but no significant storm threat arrives until Sunday.
By the weekend, Tallahassee may see a shift as a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms moves in on Sunday afternoon, offering a potential cooldown after several days of heat.
Warnings are not currently in effect, but updates are possible later this week as the weekend system approaches.
