impressive TDS with that cell in Franklin county...hopefully it's just blasting trees in rural terrain.

[northjaxpro]

That squall line is booking!! Incredible how fast it is moving. The severe weather looks to be here within the next 2 to 3 hours based on the movement of the squall line. Extremely impressive to say is a vast understatement.

[psyclone]

High risk drawn down the west coast to Sarasota county. I've never been in a high risk designation before.

[psyclone]

30% hatched TOR. Based on that upgrade...not only will a watch be forthcoming but it could well be PDS for portions of the area. If there was ever a time to pray for a bust...this is it.

Central florida folks we've got our mesoscale discussion...tornado watch coming soon.

Looks like the squall line is deepening off Clearwater....but moving ENE which would send it just north, Tampa area may just thread the needle indeed.

[psyclone]

FWIW the southward extent of the squall line hasn't had much luck building south in the past hour. some little cells trying to pop east of the line. this threat is going to be a quickie for the bay area and nature coast considering the speed of the line

PDS too. Yikes

[otowntiger]

What is 'PDS'??

[AdamFirst]

What is 'PDS'??

Particularly Dangerous Situation

[chaser1]

Really? So.... a significant risk of strong to severe weather is trumped by a Tornado/Severe Storm Watch.
And now we have a "PDS" which supersedes a Tornado/Severe Storm Watch?? Thus far today the Orlando area has yet to receive any convective impact. No doubt though, it is becoming plainly clear that convective cells are beginning to now develop in earnest , but in a narrow area just east of the very fast approaching squall line. Looks like whatever impact might/will occur with this event,"show time" is about to occur from point Tampa and Northeastward through Central Fla. starting very soon (beginning in Tampa area within the next 30 min.)

[gatorcane]

Southern part of line getting stronger. Could be some wild weather across the Tampa Bay Area.

[psyclone]

Pinellas county looks to have threaded the needle WRT tornadic supercells...we just need to get through the squall line and we'll be cleared soon. BTW 59 mph gust just reported @ the Hernando county airport.

[NDG]

3 tornadic cells NW of the Orlando County in northern Lake, Sumnter...Counties

[psyclone]

very impressive couplet crossing 75 near the Sumter Hernando line. there's a rest area right on the Sumter county side of the river that I've stopped at many times. Good chance a tornado just crossed the interstate. this is the long track storm that came ashore north of Tarpon Springs about an hour ago. It's been going nonstop. If it keep going it will enter Lake county in about 20 minutes

[northjaxpro]

Squall line right on our doorstep here in the Jax metro area. The line will be moving though wwithin the next 30 minutes. Winds already have gusted to a max of 53 mph here at my locale in cells that came through around 4:00 p.m.

I will keep you all as posted as I can while trying to stay safe.

[psyclone]

extreme reflectivity on that long track cell now near Leesburg. that one may rip across the whole peninsula
