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.

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

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

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