TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — As storms in southern Georgia and the Suwannee River region further diminish this evening, another set of storms will gather in the southern edge of the Deep South states Friday morning and move eastward in the pre-dawn hours of Friday. This second batch will provide another round of strong and severe thunderstorms with more wind gusts, hail, and brief tornado potential spread more across the state line counties. An additional tornado watch is possible for the early morning hours, possibly affecting more of northern Florida compared to this evening's action.
Forecast temperatures will fall into the 80s, hitting the 70s for lows.
Scattered thunderstorms will be left over for the coastal regions by midday Friday, with less organization but still can be locally strong or severe.
The front causing much of this activity will move to the south, allowing a drier period for Saturday and Sunday. Morning lows will be closer to 60°, with highs in the low to mid 80s.
Early next week features another opportunity for unsettled weather conditions, with rain and storm coverage increase late Monday through Tuesday. Severe weather is possible, and details regarding that will be fine-tuned this weekend.
