TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Heat and humidity will grip the Florida Panhandle today before scattered thunderstorms build into the area by late Sunday, raising concerns for afternoon travel and outdoor plans through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, today will bring partly sunny skies with highs near 94 degrees, while calm conditions tonight give way to storm chances Sunday. A 30 percent risk of showers and thunderstorms develops after 2 p.m. Sunday, growing to 50 percent Monday afternoon, especially across Leon, Gadsden, and Wakulla counties.
