Sunday will be another active weather day across NE FL, mainly south of the I-10 corridor.

Chief Meteorologist John Gaughan has concerns about Sunday. Gaughan says, ”One of my all-time favorite severe storm indicators is still off the charts for later tonight through early Sunday afternoon. This would be for severe storms and possible tornadoes from I-10 south to Central Florida.”

Rain chances will follow us into Sunday early morning/afternoon with a better chance to see more widespread heavy rainfall. Models are still uncertain but right now those along and south of the I-10 corridor could see 1″-2″ of rainfall where those north of I-10 could see 0.5″-1.0″. Long story short we will see rain Sunday.

Afternoon highs Sunday will sit in the upper 70s low 80s.

Sunshine returns Monday with highs in the low 80s.
