Other parts of Polk County are under marginal risk -isolated severe thunderstorms are possible.
“Uncertainty continues with the development, timing and impacts to the local area, but upper level energy may produce several thunderstorm complexes that could impact portions of the N FL Peninsula with a risk of severe weather today into tonight.”
