A huge and rapid thaw is underway across much of the nation. And in Florida, the warm up will last at least a week.

It's likely to be winter's worst punch for most of America, but it will only be a glancing blow to Florida.

It was a cool and dry start to the weekend in Florida, but for many it won't be a dry finish.

A possible tornado damaged several homes and a church in central Florida early Thursday morning with little warning.

Another fast-moving front will kick up the winds and soak much of the state with heavy rain Wednesday night and early Thursday.

A powerful cold front will blast through Florida this weekend, producing possible severe weather and dropping temperatures by nearly twenty degrees in some areas.

High winds, dangerous surf, and coastal flooding are possible along all coastlines of the Sunshine State, and gusty winds might also cause minor wind damage in some inland locations.

In addition to the chance of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms could also produce damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph and small hail in the advised area.
