Impending Storm Threatens Central Florida with Heavy Rain and Severe Weather

A developing Gulf storm is expected to bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and a potential for flooding and severe weather to Central Florida. News 6 has declared both Saturday and Sunday as Weather Alert Days. The severe weather threat will depend on the exact track of the storm, with higher risk if it tracks through the Panhandle. Wind gusts of 40-50 mph and widespread rainfall of 2-4 inches are expected. The storm is not tropical in nature but may have similar impacts to a low-end tropical storm.
