JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The overnight storms have moved out, and now we are preparing for the next line of storms approaching from the northwest and moving southeast. This line is currently producing thunderstorms, tornado watches, and warnings in Alabama.
Main threat: winds with gusts over 50+ mph, isolated tornados and hail (Thunderstorm Warning criteria), heavy downpours, and frequent lightning
Timing: southeast Georgia 9-1 a.m., northeast Florida, including portions of SE GA 11-3, southern zones late afternoon
Meanwhile, above-normal temperatures in the low 80s will precede the squall line.
Additionally, Freeze Watch may be triggered during this time for southeast Georgia as the cold air sinks in behind the frontal system. Temperatures are expected to drop into the 30s inland SE GA, 40s out to the beaches. Wind chill will also be a concern for Tuesday morning.
