Severe weather threat: Tornadoes, hail possible from morning squall line in north Florida

A squall line with severe weather is expected to push through the area early Sunday morning with a threat of damaging wind gusts, a few tornadoes, and maybe even some hail.

Earlier in the day the Tallahassee area was upgraded to a level 2 of 5 or slight risk risk of severe weather for Sunday after 7 a.m. The threat begins to move in after midnight with all modes of severe weather possible.

Forecasters say to keep your phone charged overnight to receive weather alerts in case a tornado warning is issued.

The storms have already proven deadly as they tore through Texas.

A tornado outbreak threatening parts of the South on Saturday, prompted forecasters to issue a rare “particularly dangerous situation” alert amid severe storms that killed at least one person and damaged homes and a fire station, according to preliminary reports.

Dan Davis is the mayor of Manvel, Texas, a city located in Brazoria County. Davis posted about a death in the county on Facebook Saturday and confirmed the death to USA TODAY via email stating that it occurred around the CR 191 and Highway 35 area of Brazoria County.

Davis also says that four people sustained injuries and that homes are “completely completely destroyed, and a lot of other property damaged.” He also adds that he’s in contact with other Brazoria County mayors and state leaders about recovery efforts for the area.

Millions of people were under tornado watches on Saturday in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Watches extended into Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties and could be pushed further east as the threat approaches.
