TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Showers and thunderstorms return to the region, and some could be strong to severe. <\/p>\n
Tonight Through Monday Night <\/p>\n
A cold front will approach the Big Bend and South Georgia Sunday night and Monday morning. This weather system will bring showers and storms, and some could pack a punch. <\/p>\n
A Level 2 Slight risk of severe weather is in place for most of us. However, a Level 3 Enhanced risk is in place for the I-75 corridor and near Lake Seminole.<\/p>\n
In terms of timing, the main severe weather threat should be between 5 a.m. and 1 p.m. Passing showers and storms are possible before 5 a.m., but the bulk of the strong storm activity should be in that timeframe. <\/p>\n
In terms of threats, all modes of severe weather are on the table. The main threat will be strong, straight-line winds, but we could see a few tornadoes and small hail. <\/p>\n
The higher tornado threat will come from discrete storms ahead of the main front. If these storms develop, a strong tornado or two cannot be ruled out. <\/p>\n
The severe weather threat should come to an end by Monday afternoon. We stay breezy behind the front. We could see winds up to 25-30 mph. <\/p>\n
Temperatures ahead of the front top out in the low-70s, but we quickly fall into the 50s and 60s during the afternoon. <\/p>\n
A cold Monday night is ahead under a partly cloudy sky. Lows tumble into the mid-and-upper-30s. However, once you factor in the wind, we could see the wind chill in the low-30s to upper-20s. <\/p>\n
