(WCTV) &#8211; Dangerous heat is expected for your Friday and over the next several days as strong high pressure holds on across the Southeast. The combination of heat and humidity will lead to extreme heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Extreme Heat Warning: Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, Franklin, Liberty and Wakulla counties are under an extreme heat warning. This is where the highest humidity will be this afternoon, leading to a heat index, or feels-like temperature, up to 114 degrees this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Heat Advisory: The rest of the area is under a heat advisory. It is still going to be very hot with feels-like temperatures up to 110. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Extreme heat warning and heat advisory for this afternoon ahead of showers and storms.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/74ZXNSEELJGFFHIULMURKJRCRM.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Extreme heat warning and heat advisory for this afternoon ahead of showers and storms.(WCTV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Today\u2019s highs will reach the upper 90s, near 100. Tallahassee\u2019s record high for today, 100 degrees, was set back in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Some afternoon showers<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Like the past few days, showers and storms will be able to bubble up this afternoon, cooling down temperatures across the area. Not everyone will get rain. However, a good chunk of the area should see some showers and storms. <\/p>\n<p>Better rain coverage tomorrow<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">An upper-level disturbance will help to enhance shower and storm development tomorrow. While there is a chance of some morning showers, they should be hit or miss. The best chance of showers is late morning through the afternoon. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Showers and storms tomorrow afternoon.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S7XOSS6ITVAK7EFZJMQHDC5RYI.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Showers and storms tomorrow afternoon.(WCTV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Highs still make it into the low 90s, with feels-like temperatures between 105 and 110.<\/p>\n<p>The heat rolls on<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Dangerous heat and humidity will continue into the weekend. Highs will be closest to record numbers on Monday and Tuesday. I am expecting a high around 99, which would tie the record on Monday and be within one degree of tying the record on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Temperatures near record highs next week.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ERSUGK7QDFBM5HDIG43XZDB7GY.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Temperatures near record highs next week.(WCTV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To stay updated on all the latest forecasts and weather, follow WCTV First Alert Weather on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\"> (<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to see all the latest weather headlines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to view the First Alert Radar.
