A severe weather outbreak is unfolding and ongoing for the Deep South having initially started for the Central Plains and the Midwest on Friday. Now that threat continues east and a decent handful of these stronger, more organized storms could reach Central Florida.

An area of low pressure is currently forming over the southern plains, and is expected to rocket across the upper gulf coast line before moving across Central Florida.

For the last few months, you've probably heard a tremendous amount about snow, winter storms, cold fronts, and the infamous drought monitor. Today, we're witnessing the changing of the times, the "transition season" as its rightfully called. Spring is knocking on our doorstep, and it comes bearing gifts in the form of thunderstorms.

A gnarly storm system is likely to start building as we wander through this weekend and especially early next week, kickstarting what could be the first significant severe weather outbreak welcoming the intro of tornado season. But how much of the serious weather will make it down to our viewing area?

Storm Prediction Center has blanketed the Central Florida area for a low-end risk of severe weather as our cold front comes through tomorrow afternoon.

Our next two frontal systems could create some weather ruckus not only bringing frigid arctic temperatures, but the chance we get a stray strong thunderstorm or two as they cut across our viewing area.

A stationary front remains draped over the region bringing substantial downpours during the afternoon hours.

Ever smell rain in the air?

We are pinpointing the risk of strong to severe storms into tonight.

Ever smell rain in the air? You're not imagining things, rain really has a smell and it's called petrichor.

It is important to know your facts when it comes to lightning here in Central Florida.

It is, kind of, but not really.

ORLANDO, Fla.- – Round one of heavy rain and storms will push out of Central Florida by 2 p.m. After a couple of hours of dry weather Saturday afternoon, another round of rain and storms will be possible, this time, more scattered in nature. StormsThe round of strong storms Saturday morning has zapped a lot of the energy out of the atmosphere significantly reducing the severe weather threat for the afternoon/evening round of storms. On an isolated scale a damaging wind gust is still possible, but most of the storms that move in through Saturday evening should stay below severe levels.
