Severe-weather risks have ended across the Big Bend and southern Georgia late this morning. The tornado watch in our eastern counties has been canceled as of 11:16 this morning.

A cold front will approach the area from the west today. Overcast skies will remain in place as line of thunderstorms pushes east through and eventually out of the Suwannee Valley later this morning.

Periods of rain will linger in these eastern counties through early this afternoon. The frontal system eventually pushes rain activity out of the region by the middle part of this afternoon, but it will stay warm and humid with highs peaking in the low to mid 70s. Skies will also start to clear at this time, bringing out peaks of sunshine that become more common as the afternoon rolls on.

After today's storms, the last few days of 2024 will feature warm, dry, and mostly clear conditions. Highs reach the mid 70s with lows in the 50s Monday and Tuesday, with cooler temperatures forecast by the end of the week. A frontal system brings highs down into the 60s and lows in the 40s New Year's Day, with the weekend bringing lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s. Skies are expected to remain dry over the course of the week.
