Impending Severe Weather Threatens Central Florida with Heavy Rain, Lightning, and Damaging Winds

Central Florida is under a Storm Alert Day due to the potential for severe storms, including heavy rain, frequent lightning, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes. The storms are expected to start in the southwestern portion of the area and move north and east throughout the evening. Tropical moisture and a warm front are contributing to the weather conditions. The region may see 2-4+ inches of rain, with some areas possibly receiving up to 7 inches. Additionally, Tropical Storm Sean has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, while a tropical wave off the west coast of Africa has a 20% chance of further development.
