The National Weather Service says that an intense line of thunderstorms currently in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will track across the central Florida Peninsula this afternoon. The strongest cells will pose a risk of locally damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.
A few tornadoes and a couple of intense tornadoes are possible. Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph are likely.
