Weather Authority Alert Morning Sunday?
Sunday will be where it gets wild and it will start early as a round or two of storms blow through all of South Georgia and North Florida. Some of these storms will be severe and this may prompt the Storm Prediction Center to place parts of our area under a severe thunderstorm watch, or more likely, a tornado watch.
For now, just be ready for possible wild weather Sunday. Obviously, as we get closer to the weekend we will better define what the impacts of a significant winter storm will have on Jacksonville.
