Severe Weather Possible Saturday Into Sunday - Bitter Cold Coming the End of Next Week

February 14, 2025 (Happy Valentines Day!):

Severe Weather Threat (Saturday-Sunday)

  • A severe squall line associated with a cold front will move through the Southeast on Saturday evening.

  • If isolated storms can form in the warm sector during the afternoon or early evening ahead of the squall line these will also pose a tornado and damaging wind risk. 

  • Enhanced risk of severe weather for parts of northern and central Alabama, with the main area extending back through Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

  • In the enhanced risk area:

    • 5% chance of tornadoes

    • 30% chance of damaging winds

    • 5% chance of hail

  • Slight risk of severe weather for the rest of Alabama, Florida Panhandle to Panama City Beach, and most of central Tennessee, with lower probabilities of severe weather.

  • In the slight risk area:

    • 2-5% chance of tornadoes, decreasing eastward

    • 15% chance of damaging winds

    • 5% chance of hail in central Tennessee

  • Marginal risk extends further into the Florida Panhandle.

  • On Sunday, a marginal risk continues for the central and eastern Florida Panhandle as the system exits the area.

  • Localized details are below.

  • Friday morning will be much colder:

    • Mid to low 20s near the coast

Frozen Precip Still Uncertain

That's it for today. The severe weather forecast for Wednesday was pretty good as you can see below.



Stay safe and have a good weekend.
