TALLAHASSEE, FL. — This morning will be mild and cloudy, with temperatures in the mid 50s.
We are in a Slight Risk (Level 1 out of 5) for severe weather. This means a few scattered severe storms are possible through this event. Storms will likely start around 1 P.M. ending around 6 P.M. with some showers and lingering thunder remaining into the night.
The Main Threats with this system will be Strong Gusts around 60 mph and Frequent Lightning. Other threats could include one or two isolated Tornadoes and localized flash flooding, but as of now these risks are still low. We are in an extreme drought, so the rain is desperately needed, but excessive rain can cause more damage than relief.
We are in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall. This is another way of saying Flash Flooding. The chances are low at only 5%-14%, but localized areas of flooding cannot be ruled out. As of the latest updates it seems that flooding could have an even lower chance. Rainfall totals are now estimated to be around 0.5"-1.5" on average across the Big Bend and South Georgia.
