Severe storms, possible tornadoes, cold front. It's all in Florida's weather forecast

Florida residents and visitors could see just about everything Mother Nature has in her weather arsenal over the next several days.

A system of low pressure moving toward Florida is expected to bring severe weather, including thunderstorms, strong winds, flooding rains, and the potential for tornadoes and waterspouts.

If that weren't enough, there's also a warm front that will be moving north, followed by a cold front expected to bring cooler temperatures, with several areas seeing low temperatures drop by more than 10 degrees by Monday.

"The greatest risk for damaging winds and stray tornadoes today stretches from Apalachicola to Jacksonville and south to Fort Myers and Fort Pierce," according to the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network.

The main threats will be local flooding, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes Wednesday and Thursday.

Rain and wind will begin to increase across the Panhandle and parts of the Peninsula Wednesday morning. Heavy showers and storms will continue into early Thursday.

Most of the area could receive 1 to 4 inches of rain, with some locations seeing more than 5 inches. Local flooding will be the main concern but isolated tornadoes and damaging winds over 60 mph are possible in the strongest storms, according to the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network.
