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.
