There is a Marginal (Level 1 of 5) risk of severe thunderstorms tonight in portions of Southeast AL and Southwest GA, and again Friday afternoon in the Southeast FL Big Bend.
Overview:
A cold front will approach the region tonight along with a complex of showers and embedded thunderstorms. The activity is expected to weaken as it approaches our Southeast AL and Southwest GA counties, but some storms may remain strong to severe as they enter our far northern Alabama and Georgia counties around and after midnight, before weakening as they continue southeastward. SPC has placed this region in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather. The main threat is isolated damaging wind gusts with small hail also possible.
Looking ahead to Friday, another round of showers with embedded thunderstorms is expected to develop during the afternoon from the lower I-75 corridor of GA into the FL Big Bend, ahead of the aforementioned cold front. SPC has placed portions of the Southeast FL Big Bend in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather. The main threat is isolated damaging wind gusts with medium to large size hail also possible.
