Terry said a strong low will form in the Gulf of Mexico and move over Florida from late Saturday through early Sunday, bringing tropical storm-like conditions to Central Florida.
“This likely won’t be tropical in nature,” he said.
But we can expect to see 2 to 5 inches of rain, wind gusts in excess of 40 to 50 mph, coastal erosion and flooding, and wave run-up. A few tornadoes are also possible.

By this time, the Gulf low will likely have moved onshore and will be over open Atlantic waters later in the day.
There could be the threat for severe weather in the northern portions of our region, and we will still see some gusty and rainy conditions to start the day.
