Rain, Winter Weather Advisory, Snow Possible For Florida Panhandle

TALLAHASSEE, Florida – The National Weather Service Tallahassee forecasts rainfall transitioning to possible snow for Southeast Alabama, Southwest Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle starting today, Saturday, January 17, 2026.

According to the National Weather Service Tallahassee, showers are likely today and tonight, with rain overspreading the region Saturday evening into Sunday morning. As a strong cold front moves through, a brief rain/snow mix or all snow is possible Sunday morning, particularly in southwest Georgia and southeast Alabama.

Snow probabilities have increased to 30-60% in affected areas, but accumulations are expected to be trace amounts on grassy surfaces due to warm ground temperatures. No significant impacts are anticipated, with temperatures recovering to the mid to upper 40s Sunday afternoon.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Sunday morning in southwest Georgia and portions of southeast Alabama.

The greatest chance for rain is across the Florida Panhandle. Cities likely to see significant rainfall include:

• Panama City
• Apalachicola
• Tallahassee
• Pensacola

The precipitation will bring some much needed relief to the Florida Panhandle, but it will not be enough to end the ongoing exceptional drought.

High temperatures across the Florida Panhandle will be around 66°F on Saturday with lows around 37°F overnight.
