@flimpct Definitely would be a good test chase for a bigger threat for some of the new chasers for sure. Regardless, we will gladly take the rain.

[Johnathan Waldrop @JAW2004]

@FloridaTropics1 Fair enough. If anything materializes, I know my chase team and I will try and cover this as best as possible.

@DaDaBuh Here we go again 😂

@NickKrasz_Wx Hey Nick, just really depends on the Air Bnb or Hotel you're looking at depending on how many days you're staying in a spot.

@NbergWX @TMainolfiWESH @FLStormChasers_ May have had a weak tornado pass near I-95 mm 276 and 278 cameras were shaking violently for roughly a minute. Lined up with the hook shown on radar.

Just some bolts from the storm that skirted the coast!

@NbergWX Hey Noah, in terms of prefrontals, what areas could we see the most action in? I know most models are showing mainly a QLCS threat but if there is any prefrontals, do you have a "highlighted" area in the state that could be a good chase spot?

[Noah Bergren @NbergWX]

FLORIDA: Watching a decent chance of some severe storms on Saturday. Looks to me like it will favor north Florida where better instability and wind shear are present. Analogs are highlighting a solid similarity to previous events that produced severe storms.

First image: CIPS analogs show elevated probabilities, esp. north and western Florida. Remaining images are 3 of the top analogs of how similar the atmosphere was setup.

Triangles = tornadoes, blue squares severe wind gusts, green triangles severe hail. The 3/31/2011 event probably is a too significant of an analog, but the others seem fair. @fox35orlando

@NWSTampaBay @FLStormChasers_ @FloridaTropics1 I spoke to my mom about, she doesn't have an exact time of when this occurred except somewhere between 1:30 and 1:50 eastern time.

Severe weather in the forecast for the Florida Panhandle, Parts of Alabama and Georgia (slight risk yellow).

Tornadoes are possible with any storm out ahead of the squall. Make sure to have a way to get warnings. Me and a couple others will be out and about keeping an eye out.

@TrevorOliverWx @FLStormChasers_ @TheCamM19 @NWSTallahassee It was really heavy on the college campus around that same time.

Snow coming down pretty well at Chipola College. Some snow is starting to barely stick to the roads.
