Severe Storms Expected in Florida, Tornado Watch Posted for South Florida

Low Pressure Developing in the Gulf of Mexico Sparks Severe Weather Concerns

Good morning everyone. As expected, we are watching low pressure generate enough lift and turbulence in the atmosphere to spark off concerns about severe weather and tornadic activity.

This activity is ahead of a wave of low pressure developing in the Gulf of Mexico that’ll meander in the Southeast and slowly move into the Atlantic as time goes on. As we move through the next 24-48hrs, heavy showers and locally severe weather will erupt and then fizzle; then erupt again with each spoke of energy and sunshine.

We’ll also watch closely the north Florida coast, coastal Georgia, and coastal South Carolina for the possibility of severe storms later this afternoon and tonight. For now, the focus will be the West Coast of Florida, then lower Central/South Florida for severe weather. After we shift from here to the Southeast Coast, then we will shift back to South Florida and the Keys for another chance of some severe thunderstorms tomorrow morning.
