TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Drivers, tailgaters, and Friday night football fans can expect blazing heat and clear skies in Tallahassee through Saturday before storm chances roll in by late Sunday. Highs will soar to the mid-90s, pushing heat safety back into focus for early September.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Thursday will bring a high of 92 under cloudless skies. Friday’s high climbs to 94 with calm winds, leaving little relief for anyone outside during peak afternoon hours. The agency warns residents to limit time outdoors and stay hydrated as heat builds.
Game-day crowds gathering across Leon County Friday night should see ideal football weather with mostly clear skies and temperatures dipping into the lower 70s. By Saturday, sunshine holds strong, though clouds may increase by evening. Roadways like I-10 and U.S. 27 should remain dry through the weekend, but drivers should prepare for changing conditions by Sunday evening.
Rain chances return Sunday with a 20 percent chance of showers and storms after 2 p.m., increasing to 40 percent Monday and Tuesday. These storms could disrupt evening commutes, local outdoor events, and early-week classes at Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College.
Residents are urged to monitor forecasts and stay alert for pop-up thunderstorms that may bring lightning and brief heavy downpours. Conditions remain unsettled into midweek, with more showers likely.
