If you're hitting the road Friday afternoon, you'll likely be caught in rough weather. Thunder, lightning, downpours and the threat of tornadoes. Forecasters have issued flood watches, severe thunderstorm warnings and hazardous weather outlooks. Thunderstorms are likely through Friday afternoon and into the evening, some becoming strong or severe, the National Weather Service said. The strongest storms will bring heavy rain, damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning and small hail. Thursday saw similar weather activity with nickel-sized hail pelting parts of Miami-Dade and West Broward, and a short-lived tornado with up to 80 mph winds ripping through a neighborhood near Quail Heights.
