ORLANDO, Fla. – An active weather setup is taking shape across Central Florida on Tuesday, with strong to severe storms expected into the afternoon and evening.
TUESDAY
A weakening cold front will continue to sag over the area, helping fuel scattered storms into the evening. The greatest concern will be between 2 p.m. and 11 p.m., when conditions become favorable for severe weather.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of Central Florida under a Marginal Risk for severe storms, where sea breezes are expected to collide.
The combination of heat, humidity, and instability will allow strong storms to turn severe. The main threats on Tuesday include damaging wind gusts over 60 mph, frequent lightning, heavy rainfall, and hail up to around one inch in diameter.
Some storms could quickly produce 1 to 2.5 inches of rain, with isolated areas seeing even higher amounts.
