After a stormy Sunday, when many cities across the Peninsula experienced severe storms or flooding, the week starts with a higher risk of severe weather for the Panhandle and more storms possible for parts of the Peninsula.

Southerly flow will continue to bring instability and warmth across the Peninsula on Sunday with the risk of some isolated severe storms, while a cold front moves in over the Panhandle on Monday, increasing the severe risk for this region, including the risk of tornadoes.

The American GFS model shows a Gulf tropical system in the second week of April. It's only one model and one run of this model. Let it be a reminder that hurricane season is around the corner.

It wasn't a hurricane, but it acted like one. Raging across Florida's Big Bend, leaving a trail of destruction, thousands without homes, catastrophic storm surge and dozens of deaths.

Rain chances increase for the first half of the week, but not everyone will get the much-needed rain. The drought persists.

There are very low humidity levels, and the incoming cold front will bring another round of strong winds and a push of extra dry air, worsening the fire danger.
