Severe weather possible late Thursday night, early Friday with cold front’s approach

Central Florida, including Osceola County, is at a slight risk — not high, but better than a few percent chance — of severe weather overnight Thursday into Friday morning as a cold front moves through our area. That could make for a potentially dangerous Friday morning commute, and a less than favorable time of getting the kiddos to school on Friday.

Colder air entering into a warmer air mass — high temperatures Wednesday and Thursday are expected in the mid to upper-80s, and warm, moist air and cold air don’t play nicely together — will deliver a squall line of rain that could create 30-40 mph winds with gusts to 60 mph, small hail, lots of lightning, possibly some tornados, and up to an inch of rain.
