Storms, cooler weather on the way to central Florida

It’s warm and windy now, but rain and storms are just a few hours away, according to Severe Weather Center 9 meteorologist Brian Shields.

A line of storms is forming in the gulf, and will push into our western zones by mid-afternoon.

Highs Friday will be in the 80s and then rain will arrive late in the day.

According to Shields, storms Friday evening and night could be strong, with gusty winds being the primary threat.

Temperatures over the weekend are expected to be in the mid-60s.

Early next week a couple more cold fronts are expect to pass through bringing even cooler weather to the area.
