Very large hail up to baseballs & damaging winds are the main threats. Isolated, brief tornadoes are also possible, especially near the Atlantic Coast. Flash flooding will be a concern with torrential rain at times. Some localized areas may pick up over 2ā€ in a very short time. Please stay weather aware and watch for that high water.

A stormy weather pattern will continue across Florida straight through the weekend. Thursday, the severe risk shifts into the Panhandle then spreads into the Peninsula on Friday.
