Storms move off coast after bringing heavy rain, strong winds in Central Florida
Wednesday was declared a First Warning Weather Day.
A tornado watch was issued for a majority of counties in Central Florida throughout the entire day, but those watches expired or were canceled.
A squall line arrived mid-day right as temperatures heated up, increasing the threat of severe weather.
Luckily, there were no additional watches or warnings issued. People in the Central Florida area experienced lots of rain and high gusts of wind.
Originally, there was an “isolated” 1/5 risk for severe weather, but new models upgraded Wednesday to a “scattered” 2/5 risk.
The storms later moved off the Brevard coast Wednesday evening.
Rain lingered throughout the night.
Following this bout of severe weather, we will see a nice cooldown and sun for the rest of the week and weekend.
