WCTI StormTrack 12 meteorologists are tracking a potential tropical disturbance that could begin developing late this weekend into early next week.
Meteorologists say a cold front is expected to push into the region Sunday night, bringing a chance for severe weather into early Monday morning. Those storms could be enhanced by an area of lower pressure.
