Showers and thunderstorms are expected Friday afternoon through the overnight hours. The SPC has highlighted the western Florida Panhandle in a Slight Risk for severe weather, with a Marginal Risk across Southeast Alabama, Southwest Georgia, and the Florida Big Bend.

A Strong Cold Front will be making its way through the Gulf Coast states on Friday with a line of scattered showers and thunderstorms ahead and along the front.
