TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Crowds gathering in Tallahassee Thursday for Patriot Day ceremonies should prepare for blazing sunshine and near-90-degree heat. Outdoor events could feel uncomfortable without shade or hydration, especially around downtown and the Florida State University campus.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Thursday will bring mostly sunny skies with highs near 90°F and light northeast winds. Evening temperatures will fall into the mid-60s, offering relief after a sweltering afternoon. Drivers along Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway should expect increased pedestrian traffic during memorial events, making caution essential during peak heat hours.
Friday continues the stretch of hot, dry weather with highs climbing near 91°F under clear skies. Weekend conditions stay locked in a summer-like pattern, with Saturday and Sunday both hitting around 90°F. Clear nights in the mid-60s will provide cooler air for evening activities, but the daytime heat remains the main story.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated during Thursday’s Patriot Day observances and limit direct sun exposure. With no rain in the forecast, sunscreen, hats, and water bottles are must-haves for anyone attending outdoor services or parades.
The weather pattern shows little change into early next week. Sunshine dominates, with highs ranging from 90°F to 92°F through Tuesday. No storm systems are expected, meaning dry skies persist across Leon County and surrounding areas.
