TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — While shower coverage has been minimal early today, a general increase in rain and thunderstorm activity is anticipated in the Florida/Georgia line region after sunrise.
The bulk of the severe weather threat holds off until mid-morning at the earliest, with scattered storms in the morning hours becoming more widespread during the afternoon. This will be enough to consider Monday afternoon a washout for much of the area, including for the evening commute home.
Throughout the day on Monday, a risk for scattered occurrences of severe weather exists, with the potential for damaging wind, small hail, and even an isolated tornado in the strongest storms. Make sure to have multiple ways to get alerts, including by turning government alerts on in your phone's settings. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, you can tune into ABC 27 and we will have the latest on the storm.
The most widespread impact across the area Monday will be periods of heavy rain, with a general 1-3 inches of rain expected across the Big Bend and South Georgia. Localized spots could see more. Some ponding in flood-prone areas is possible, so make sure to turn around, don't drown, if you encounter flooded roadways.
Rain moves out of the area between sunset and midnight Monday evening, when skies will begin to clear and cooler and drier air begins to move into the area.
Tuesday morning lows in the 40s with daytime highs in the 60s and low 70s bring temperatures below average after the past few days have felt more like summer!
