Storm Team Tuesday evening forecast (02/02/2016)

MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- From the Storm Team Weather Center ...

Considerable cloud cover, some of which is leftover from areas of fog earlier, has slowed the warming in western counties, while additional sun has forced afternoon reading above 80° in the Suwannee River valley.  Tomorrow won't be quite as warm because a cold front will bring additional clouds along with the chance for periods of rain and thunderstorms.  The warmth and moisture, plus stronger southerly winds, ahead of the front may be driving forces behind a few intense thunderstorms with gusty winds, lightning, and in isolated cases, a possible waterspout or tornado.  Overall severe weather impacts are limited, however.  Lows tonight will only reach the mid 60s, then depending on when clouds and rain arrive, highs will range from the low 70s west to near 80° in some eastern Big Bend counties away from the coast.  The front will be slower to move through, stretching rain potential into Thursday but diminishing the strong storm threat as a cooler air source enters.  The weekend and beyond feature near- or below-average temps, with another Gulf disturbance possibly flinging clouds and showers into the region, then further supporting a colder streak early next week.
