The National Weather Service in Tallahassee expects a marginal risk of severe weather Saturday with a line of thunderstorms ahead of a cold front.
Some storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds being the main concern, while a few tornadoes and hail are possible.
There is a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather for areas west of a line from near Albany, GA to Apalachicola for Saturday into Saturday night (before Sunday morning at 7am EST/6am CST). It’s worth pointing out that the Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) is very close and could be expanded east depending on how the situation evolves over the next 24 to 36 hours. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected late Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening well ahead of a cold front. One or two of these storms could be on the strong to severe side with damaging winds the primary concern along with the possibility of a tornado or some hail.
For Sunday (after 7am EST/6am CST), there is also a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather for all of our area as the cold front crawls through the region. Again, it’s worth pointing out that the Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) does include far northern Ben Hill county and may be expanded south depending on how the system ultimately evolves. Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern as the cold front moves through, but a few tornadoes are also possible along with some hail.
