TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — A Tornado Watch is in place for several local counties within the eastern Florida Big Bend and southeastern Georgia late Sunday morning.

In Suwannee, Hamilton, Clinch, and Echols counties locally, the watch expires at 3 p.m. However, as the strongest storms clear out of these counties sooner than 3:00, the watch will likely be canceled early.

Batches of thunderstorms along a broken line of rain and thunder has been moving east. THe strongest of the storms have exited our region, but a few of the storms that remain near I-75 and in the lower Suwannee Valley will interact with overall breezy and gusty conditions to build the strength of the storms to levels where they can cause enhanced, damaging wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes.

Severe-weather risks for the majority of the local Florida/Georgia line region, including the Tallahassee metro area, have ended for the day.
