Some power outages are likely. Charge up your devices. Isolated tornadoes could also occur. Jacksonville and Gainesville are under a Slight Risk. Some severe weather is still expected there too.
A Slight Risk for severe storms continues to include Tallahassee and Albany. Damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes could occur this evening. Areas around Cuthbert have a slightly greater chance for severe winds and are under an Enhanced Risk. Storms are expected to rapidly weaken as they approach the Jacksonville area later tonight.
The Jacksonville area is comprised of Northeast/North Central Florida and Southeast Georgia.
The Tallahassee area consists of Florida’s Big Bend and Southwest/South Central Georgia.
An unusual setup is expected to bring more showers and gustier winds to North Florida and South Georgia. The latest forecast model guidance shows that most of the heavier activity should hold off until early tomorrow.
Sunday looks wet for most spots. Model uncertainty remains, but there are indications that higher rain totals could ultimately be focused over Southern Georgia. A Flood Watch for communities such as Albany and Moultrie will go into effect late tonight. The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has also issued a Flood Watch for those in/near Brunswick and Nahunta.
