Gas stations are bumper-to-bumper and stores are packed in my stretch of Tallahassee. I was just stuck in a Walmart parking lot traffic jam. People are preparing for incoming Hurricane Helene.

With the possibility for overnight tornadoes, make sure you are ready in case a tornado does occur tonight! #FLwx

Rain continues to gradually fill in. The heaviest remains offshore closer to the warm front but that will slowly move north into early Thurs morning. Severe risk still will be limited to the coast tonight. Storms could bring the potential for a few tornadoes/strong winds. #FLwx
