Sunday’s strong to severe storms will impact Southeast Georgia, Northeast Florida
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A strong cold front is moving west to east from the lower Mississippi Valley and will reach our area on Sunday.
Ahead of it, our Sunday will start off windy and with unusually warm conditions during the day. South winds will run 15–25 mph, with gusts up to 40-45 mph. The National Weather Service could issue a wind advisory. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the area in a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe storms.
By early to mid-afternoon, beginning after 1 p.m., a main line of storms is expected to move into western areas and push east through the evening. Some scattered storms could pop up ahead of the main line. As the storms organize, a few could produce damaging wind gusts, and there’s a small chance of an isolated tornado, especially from inland Northeast Florida into inland Southeast Georgia.
The main squall line will weaken as it moves east Sunday night. While a severe storm can’t be ruled out early in the evening, the threat should decrease after about 8–9 p.m. as the atmosphere stabilizes and the cold front pushes through.
Rain chances will drop off overnight, and cooler air will filter in behind the front, with lows falling into the 50s.

In the eighth, two runs came home on a pair of Georgia Southern errors before Graveline and Schoenfeld knocked in two more. Ineich hit a two-run triple in the ninth and came home to score on a sacrifice fly by senior Brock Wills.

Nathan Wade’s testimony to Georgia Senate subcommittee investigating Fani Willis delayed
Former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade’s expected testimony in front of a special Senate subcommittee has been delayed until an undetermined date.
Wade has been ordered to appear before the special committee investigating Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, his former boss and romantic partner, on Friday. However, when the committee began Friday’s meeting by noting that the attorney would not be appearing at this time.
The special committee was created in January 2024 to examine allegations of misconduct tied to Willis’ prosecution of President Trump and 18 others accused of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. A central focus of the inquiry has been Willis’ decision to hire Wade as a special prosecutor and whether their romantic relationship created a conflict of interest or led to improper use of public funds.
In December 2025, Willis testified before the Senate committee after more than a year of legal wrangling over whether lawmakers had the authority to compel her appearance. During that testimony, she forcefully denied wrongdoing and defended Wade’s role in the case, saying she hired him because her office was overwhelmed and needed experienced leadership.
“You all want to intimidate people from doing the right thing, and you think that you’re going to intimidate me,” Willis told the committee. “You all have been trying to intimidate me for five years.”
Wade has previously testified under oath in another proceeding about his and Willis’ relationship, but lawmakers said they believed there were discrepancies between those statements and Willis’ account.
Legal battles and scheduling conflicts
The committee, led by Republican state Sen. Greg Dolezal, issued a subpoena for Wade to testify on Feb. 2. They then hired a process server to serve the subpoena to Wade on Feb. 10.
Dolezal said they received a message from Wade’s attorney on Thursday saying that he was not able to appear before the senators the next day, but that he could voluntarily appear on March 13.
“That’s around day 31 of the Senate session, so that’s not a date that’s acceptable to the committee,” Dolezal said.
The committee is now working to find and earlier alternative date for the testimony.
Wade’s attorney requested limitations on the time and scope of his testimony, which Dolezal said they will try to negotiate.
The subpoena of Wade and Jeff DeSantis, the spokesperson for Willis’ office, are the latest in a series of legal battles between the Fulton County district attorney and the Senate panel.
Willis previously ignored an earlier subpoena, arguing through her attorneys that the committee lacked constitutional authority to force her to testify. That dispute is still moving through the courts.
So far, the committee has turned up few new facts regarding Willis’ activities in connection with her case against Mr. Trump.
