Another Severe Weather Threat Tomorrow into Saturday

Severe weather will be possible across the Southeast again tomorrow into Saturday. This threat comes just after storms Tuesday night into early Wednesday produced several tornados – including an EF-1 in Mobile County, AL.

The Storm Prediction Center has defined an enhanced (level 3 out of 5) risk for severe weather for parts of the Florida Panhandle/Big Bend and southern Georgia tomorrow into early Saturday.

Parts of south/central Alabama, the western Florida Panhandle, and north Florida have also been included in a slight (level 2 out of 5) risk area. Southeast Louisiana, much of southern Mississippi, and parts of central Alabama and central Florida have been included in a marginal (level 1 out of 5) risk area.

Storms, some of which could be strong/severe, will be likely throughout much of the enhanced and slight risk areas throughout the day tomorrow along/south of a warm front.

However, the greatest risk for severe weather is expected tomorrow evening into Saturday morning as a strengthening low/cyclone tracks northeast out of the lower Mississippi Valley, across the Southeast, and into the Mid-Atlantic by Saturday morning bringing an attendant cold front east.

All severe hazards (tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail) will be possible.
