Tallahassee, FL — An extended stretch of unusually warm and mostly dry weather is setting up across the Big Bend and southwest Georgia as we head into the upcoming workweek. According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, a strong area of high pressure positioned over the Southeast will dominate from Tuesday through Friday, reinforcing warm temperatures and keeping rainfall minimal.
Daily highs across the region—including Tallahassee, Valdosta, Panama City, Perry, and surrounding communities—are expected to range from the upper 70s to the lower 80s much of the week. Several locations could challenge daily warm-temperature benchmarks, especially by midweek when many cities are projected to reach 80–83°F. Overnight lows will remain mild as well, generally in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Rain chances will remain very limited through Thursday, with forecast probabilities hovering near 0% for most areas. A weak frontal system approaching the region on Friday and Saturday may bring a slight uptick in moisture, with rain chances increasing modestly to around 15–25% depending on location. However, rainfall amounts—should showers materialize—are expected to be low and unlikely to provide meaningful drought relief.
Drought conditions remain an ongoing concern across the southeastern Big Bend and inland southwest Georgia. While any precipitation is welcome, the current forecast does not suggest widespread or soaking rains. Residents should continue to monitor local drought information and adhere to any burn restrictions or guidance from local authorities.
Warming temperatures combined with low humidity and dry vegetation may elevate fire danger by Monday and Tuesday, especially during the afternoon hours. Gusty breezes, typical behind weak frontal passages, may further contribute to the concern.
Overall, this week will feel more like late September than mid-November—warm, dry, and dominated by sunshine. A pattern shift may occur toward next weekend, but confidence in significant rainfall remains limited at this time.
