Rain Moves In Tonight

Another round of severe weather plagued parts of the deep south today.  Tornado Watches were issued late this morning for parts of Alabama and Georgia.  The watch boxes were extended to include parts of the Nature Coast earlier this evening.  The culprit: another cold front.  The front will move into the bay area overnight and may bring the threat for strong storms to the area.  Citrus and Hernando Counties could see the activity move in shortly after midnight.  The front quickly moves south, dragging the heavy rainfall and gusty wind with it.  Prepare for delays and slow travel times for your morning commute.  The rain could limit visibility at times and cause ponding on area roadways.  Gusty wind will make driving high profile vehicles a bit difficult especially on area bridges.

High pressure will quickly sweep in pulling in a much cooler and drier air mass late Monday.  Temperatures will fall into the upper 30s to low 40s inland and low 50s along the coast Tuesday morning.  No Freeze Watches or Warnings are expected to be issued at this time
