Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued for Parts of Central and Southern Florida This Afternoon Through Later This Evening



National Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for a region stretching from Central/Eastern zones into the Southern Florida areas, covering a large part of the Florida population.

A system coming out of the Texas forecast area yesterday will move eastward with time. This looks like a central spine event, meaning the Central Peninsula will see more severe storms than anywhere else, along the center of the thunderstorm watch.  Numerous severe thunderstorm cells will be covering the area, including the areas around the Orlando Theme Park zones.  So, if you are planning to be there, expect increasing severe thunderstorms.

Storm cells will produce hail and wind risks, as well as the chance of an isolated tornado and torrential downpours that will lead to flooding in spots. It is not recommended to be at the beach this day either, or have small crafts offshore.
