Strong storms likely in Central Florida on Thursday

A potent cold front is eyeing Central Florida, and it will bring the risk for strong to severe storms Thursday.

Rain and storms will move in from the west by mid-morning, and the risk for stronger storms will last into the early evening.


What You Need To Know

  • Strong to severe storms will be possible mid-morning and into the afternoon Thursday.
  • Storm threats may include damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning and a few tornadoes
  • Cooler and drier air starts to move into Central Florida behind the front Friday

Areas along Interstate 4 around Orlando and toward the northwest have a higher risk for scattered severe storms. This is where a slight risk for severe weather has been placed across the area on Thursday.

Meanwhile, an isolated severe storm or two will be possible in Osceola and Brevard counties, where there is a marginal risk for severe weather.

The primary hazards with any stronger storms will be the potential for gusty, damaging winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours. 

An isolated tornado or two will be possible across the region.
