Florida Weekend Weather Forecast Calls For Drenching Rains and Storms on Sunday

A storm system set on unleashing heavy rain and severe thunderstorms across the south-central United States into Saturday will pivot into Florida by Sunday, threatening to disrupt outdoor plans across the Sunshine State.

While winter months tend to pass drier for Florida, an occasional non-tropical system can bring prolific rainfall and gusty storms this time of year. The upcoming weekend weather forecast has the potential to do just that.

Pleasant Start to the Weekend Won't Last Long

Pleasant weather should unfold Friday through Saturday evening as high pressure drifts overhead, promoting dry conditions near seasonal temperatures.

But the same storm plaguing Texas and the Southern Plains with flooding downpours and damaging winds this weekend will eventually emerge into the Southeast on Sunday.
