Tallahassee, Florida – Tallahassee is gearing up for severe thunderstorms and extreme heat this Sunday, as the capital braces for a summer weather alert.
With temperatures expected to hit 95°F and the heat index potentially soaring to 107°, outdoor activities will be hazardous, particularly along major routes like I-10 and city streets after 2 p.m. Residents are urged to prepare for rapidly changing weather, flooded roads, and possible power outages as storms develop.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms are likely to develop in the afternoon, with the greatest chance of rain occurring after 2 p.m. The rain risk peaks at 70%, and new rainfall amounts of a quarter to half an inch are possible.
