Tallahassee, Florida – A wave of widespread showers and storms is drenching North Florida, South Georgia, and Southeast Alabama through Friday, offering a much-needed break from persistent high heat. Roads in cities like Tallahassee, Albany, and Panama City may see brief flooding or slick spots during heavy downpours, with travel delays possible into Thursday night.
According to the National Weather Service Tallahassee, precipitation chances remain elevated—ranging from 60% to 80% in most areas—through Friday morning, before sharply dropping off by Saturday. The region’s humidity and rain are expected to push out just in time for the weekend, but drier air won’t bring relief: maximum heat index values will surge into the triple digits, topping 110°F in places like Valdosta, Dothan, and Apalachicola from Sunday through Tuesday.
Residents are urged to limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors as the “feels-like” temperature climbs. The return of intense heat may strain power grids and increase the risk of heat-related illness, especially after a stretch of wet, cooler days.
Showers will taper off by late Friday, with excessive heat warnings likely to follow for the weekend and early next week. More updates and possible advisories are expected as dangerous temperatures return.
