Forecasters are expecting severe weather overnight into the early morning hours. Tornadoes and damaging winds are possible. The National Weather Service recommends those in mobile homes consider sheltering with family or friends in a sturdier building.
Officials also say it's important to ensure you have more than one way to receive weather alerts and that those alerts will be able to wake you up in the night. If a warning is issued, residents should move into an interior room away from doors and windows.
In a social media post, the National Weather Service says Tallahassee's NOAA weather radio is temporarily unavailable.
"The timing is terrible, but [this] serves as a reminder to have multiple ways to receive weather updates. We apologize for the inconvenience." the post says.
Alerts can also be received through mobile devices. Officials recommend ensuring that cell phones are fully charged and wireless emergency alerts are activated.
