Widespread rains this morning will give way to mild temperatures in the 60s by this afternoon. Unfortunately, the warm temperatures will bring a risk for strong to severe storms later this afternoon and evening. The main threats with any strong to severe storms will be damaging wind gusts, some of which could reach or exceed 60mph. The line of storms should push east of the I-75 corridor by 9pm EST. Some localized high water concerns could also arise due to locally heavy rainfall.
