Tornado Watch for Attractions Area until 11AM Friday 4/24

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a tornado watch for the Attractions Area until 11AM Friday morning. The SPC says there’s an overall “slight” risk (level 2 of 5) for severe weather in the area.

The atmosphere is expected to support continued travel of an existing line of severe storms coming in from the Gulf of Mexico as they travel across the Florida peninsula, according to the SPC…

Although much of
   the convection will remain linear, supercells will be most likely on
   the southern side of the line segments where cells have tended to
   remain more discrete. A brief tornado could occur with supercells
   that develop. Wind damage will be possible with supercells but will
   also along the leading edge of the stronger line segments.
