Thunderstorms, Heavy Rain For Florida Panhandle and Big Bend

TALLAHASSEE, Florida – Rain chances remain high today, especially inland north of I-10, according to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee.

This will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly across inland zones and portions of Alabama and Georgia this afternoon and evening. An isolated strong storm remains possible, particularly across our Georgia counties.

A general thunderstorm risk exists across the broader Tri-State area, with highest coverage inland north of the I-10 corridor.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible this morning through early evening across the entire Tri-State region, with activity favoring inland areas this afternoon.

Primary hazards with any stronger storms today include locally heavy rainfall, dangerous lightning, and torrential downpours. Isolated flash flooding is possible where storms train or move slowly.

Patchy fog is possible early this morning in portions of southeast Alabama, southwest Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle.

On a positive note, beneficial rainfall is expected region-wide over the next 7 days. Expect 1-4 inches widespread, with the highest amounts inland across southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia. Coastal areas will see 1-2 inches. This will help alleviate ongoing dry conditions across the area.

Cities at risk for thunderstorms today include:

• Dothan (AL)
• Enterprise (AL)
• Panama City (FL)
• Tallahassee (FL)
• Albany (GA) and surrounding southwest Georgia areas

High temperatures across the Florida Panhandle and north Florida will be in the upper 80s to low 90s °F inland and upper 80s °F along the coast. Overnight lows will drop into the low 70s.
