Tallahassee, Fla. – Thunderstorms will move into the Tallahassee area late Wednesday morning, threatening to disrupt travel and outdoor plans as temperatures soar into the mid-90s with heat index values near 112°. Residents should brace for sudden downpours, dangerous lightning, and possible delays on major roadways like I-10, especially by midday.
According to the National Weather Service, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will climb after 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 30th. Sun and heat will dominate the early hours, but clouds will quickly build as storms approach. Expect high temperatures near 96°F, but humidity will make it feel much hotter.

City impacts: Leon County schools and Tallahassee commuters should prepare for possible delays and detours if storms intensify. Utility crews are on alert for power disruptions.
