Secondary severe weather season is underway across the U.S. - so called because it typically pales in comparison to the primary severe weather season in the spring. However, the fall can provide high-end severe weather threats of its own, including the December 2021 tornado outbreak.

Thankfully, the severe weather setup for now through Sunday doesn't look to be on the high-end, but a few scattered severe storms will be possible.


Severe Storm Outlooks/Hazards

Early morning severe storms will be possible along the cold front driving south. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with any severe storms and the severe risk should diminish by sunrise.

The threat for isolated severe storms will continue Saturday into Sunday as the cold front is dragged through the south. Check back in with us online or on air for an updated forecast.

Overnight storms are possible, but the severe threat goes down Saturday before it returns to the Southeast on Sunday. Areas along the Atlantic Coast should be weather aware for Sunday.
