TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Our area entered the weekend on a drier note, but disturbed weather reaching us later today will trigger another opportunity for rain and thunderstorms.
Following a dry and calm start to this morning, a complex of showers and thunder will develop along the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, moving east during the afternoon and evening. The leading edge of this system will reach the tri-state area by late-afternoon and evening, bringing with it times of showers, downpours, and some wind gusts. A limited chance for damaging wind gusts exists, particularly from the Forgotten Coast westward tonight and early Sunday morning.
Sunday brings our next cold front to the region. Depending on the extent of tonight's rain coverage, showers and storms are expected to re-develop in advance of the front's arrival. As temperatures are forecast to remain a bit on the warmer side, there can be enough support for a couple more zones of stronger storms, causing isolated cases of wind-driven damage.
Severe weather chances will be limited, but the lower-end chances for a few severe storms exist area-wide on Sunday. A few local severe thunderstorm warnings can be issued for counties affected by the strongest storm activity. Be ready to stay in safe shelter if a warning is issued for your area.
