A cold front is expected to push through the region late this evening through the overnight hours. Ahead of the front, a line of scattered showers and thunderstorms will pass through with the potential for producing strong to damaging wind gusts, small hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rain. There is a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms in our Alabama and Georgia counties today. Our Florida counties are included in a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5). The front is expected to complete its passage by daybreak Saturday, pushing out the remainder of the showers and thunderstorms.
