Central Florida has experienced stormy weather all day. Current forecasts suggest that rain will continue until 7 p.m. EST tonight.
However, the tornado warning is much more concerning. Although the timeframe has technically passed now, it’s something to bear watching for the next hour or so.
As the above graphic indicates, a warning generally indicates the most dangerous weather conditions unfolding.
