Severe weather warnings expire in central Florida, but still threatened by storms

ORLANDO, Fla. – UPDATE: All of the severe storm warnings previously issued in central Florida have expired, but the clocks remain in effect.

Previously, the notices were in effect until 1:15 p.m. for Orange, Lake and Osceola counties.

“It’s a strong storm warning, though, those involved: I want you to treat it like it’s a tornado warning because the winds are so intense,” News 6 meteorologist Jonathan Kegges said.

Kegges said there were still straight winds, but it is estimated to be about 70 mph around 12:45 p.m.

A strong storm clock is still in force in most of central Florida until 4 p.m. The strong storm clock has been canceled in Marion and Flagler counties.

ORIGINAL TALE OF TIME

During the morning strong storms will continue to develop in northern Orlando. The storms will freeze in a line and sink south toward the I-4 corridor and the Orlando subway toward lunchtime. The line will approach the space coast between 1 and 3 this afternoon.

Announcements

In the early hours of the day, north of the hailstorm in northern Orlando, heavy rains and harmful winds will be the main threats. The threat will become more threatened by harmful wind and heavy rain as storms melt in a line and move south as the morning progresses.

A brief tornado is possible along the storms, but this is not the main threat.

Announcements

Even after the storms pass, it will remain very windy on Sunday. Wind gusts can sometimes exceed 30 mph. The gusts will be higher in any storm that develops.

Localized flooding will also be possible until Sunday afternoon, as torrential rain is expected.

The weather becomes much calmer on Monday, but next week as a whole will remain unstable.
