MIAMI -- A front moving through South Florida could bring severe weather to the area Sunday, including heavy rain, gusty winds and the risk for a tornado.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch that extends from Broaward to Miami-Dade and includes the Keys that lasts until 2 p.m.

The highest chance for rain begins in the morning and stretches through the early afternoon, when there is an 50 percent chance for precipitation at 1 p.m..

The severe weather risk is the result of a cold front marching south through the Florida peninsula.

The same system brought torrential downpours and gusty winds to Central Florida on Saturday.

 After the front moves through, the chance for rain on Monday drops and cooler, drier air will remain.
