The threat of severe weather exists across the area today, courtesy of a low pressure system moving through the Southeast. The main concerns will be large hail and damaging winds, but there could also be a few isolated tornadoes across Central Florida, as there is enough instability and wind shear to cause some of the stronger storms to rotate.
We'll also see our typical pop-up thunderstorm pattern, as outflow boundaries from the storms interact with the atmosphere.
Most of the area is under a Tornado Watch until 8pm. As mentioned at that link, we could also see wind gusts up to 80mph, and 2 inch hail.
This looks to be mainly a daytime event. The storms should die out after sunset, because the cloud cover will prevent the heating required to carry the storms through the night.
We also have a chance for severe weather tomorrow. Will update again later to talk about that.
