Tallahassee, FL – The sky above Leon County glows with that hazy silver sheen that usually means rain isn’t far behind. Light winds ripple through the pines this morning, and forecasters say North Florida is on track for a wet, stormy start to December.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, increasing clouds today will lead to scattered showers by Monday, followed by a more widespread band of rain and possible thunderstorms Tuesday. The most active period will occur late Monday night through early Tuesday afternoon, when gusty winds and brief heavy downpours could slow travel across I-10 and U.S. 319.
While rainfall totals should stay moderate, localized ponding on roads is possible during heavier bursts. Daytime highs will climb to the low 70s, keeping things muggy before a cold front clears the area by midweek. Behind it, skies will brighten with sunny, cooler conditions by Wednesday, offering a crisp, calm start to December’s first weekend.
Travel Tip: Keep your windshield wipers ready and allow extra time on Tuesday morning. Commuters and travelers heading east toward Jacksonville or south toward the Gulf Coast should be alert for reduced visibility and slick pavement.
Five-Day Outlook:
- Monday: 30% chance of showers, high 73°F.
- Tuesday: 80% chance of rain and storms, high 72°F.
- Wednesday: Sunny, high 63°F.
- Thursday: Partly sunny, high 66°F.
