Damaging wind gusts, tornadoes possible with storms Wed into early Thurs along the Gulf Coast
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner from the WKRG Storm Team advises to stay weather aware today through early tomorrow due to the potential for strong to severe storms. While current conditions are mostly calm, scattered showers and storms are developing, especially in northern areas. A warm front is bringing humid air, creating instability for storms later today and into tomorrow morning. There’s an 80% chance of rain, with risks including damaging winds, tornadoes, and small hail. The severe weather threat escalates late tonight and continues into tomorrow, with significant concerns for EF2 tornadoes in certain areas. Stay updated via the WKRG app and website.
We are WEATHER AWARE today through early Thursday as strong to severe storms are expected across the News 5 area. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive weather warnings. We have scattered showers and some brief storms this morning with mild temperatures, but our storm chances will increase later this morning. The first window of strong to severe storms is from 10 a.m. through around 5 p.m. with isolated storms ahead of the main line. Damaging wind gusts and brief tornadoes are possible. The main line will arrive closer to 9 or 10 p.m. and will finally exit northwest Florida closer to 6 or 7 a.m. on Thursday. Similar threats are possible. Our northwestern spots are under a level 3 of 5 risk while most all other spots are under a level 2 of 5 risk. Once that cold front passes Thursday, we will be cooler and a bit drier for the end of the work week with highs in the mid- to upper- 60’s and lows into the upper-40’s by Friday morning. A warm front will lift on Saturday bringing isolated showers and highs back in the 70’s, but another cold front will bring increased shower and storm chances overnight Saturday into Sunday before passing and cooling us again to start the next work week. More strong to severe storms are possible late Saturday into Sunday. Highs will cool into the 50’s with lows in the 30’s for Monday!
