Tallahassee, Florida – Torrential rain is hammering the Florida Panhandle, southwest and south-central Georgia, and parts of southeastern Alabama through Monday morning, sending the region into a flash flood watch. Localized downpours could drop as much as 8 inches of rain by 8 a.m., making roads and low-lying areas especially dangerous for drivers. According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, most communities should prepare for 3 to 5 inches of rain, with heavier pockets likely, especially along creeks, poorly drained streets, and rural roads.
Blountstown, Valdosta, Albany, Dothan, Bainbridge, and Tallahassee will all face elevated flooding risks as bands of thunderstorms linger through the night. The Florida Big Bend and the I-10 corridor are especially vulnerable, with rapid water rise possible in flood-prone neighborhoods. Residents are urged to avoid non-essential travel and never drive through flooded roadways—just a few inches of moving water can sweep away vehicles. Power outages and brief road closures can’t be ruled out where rainfall rates peak.
This flood watch will remain in effect until 8 a.m. Monday, with more updates possible if rain persists. Stay weather aware—additional advisories could follow as storms continue into the week.
