TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — A Tornado Watch is in place for several local counties within the eastern Florida Big Bend and southeastern Georgia, with varying expiration times.
The watch for Taylor County will expire at 11 a.m., one hour later than the original expiration time.
In Lafayette, Suwannee, Hamilton, Clinch, and Echols counties locally, the expiration time is 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 will generally move east through the next several hours. These areas of rain and storms 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 within the local area.
Severe-weather risks for the tri-state and western Big Bend, including the Tallahassee metro area, have ended for the day.
Please have multiple ways to get alerts for warnings as the line of storms moves through.
Power outages are also possible, so make sure all electronic devices are charged.
