wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, small hail, and frequent lightning
strikes.

This evening into early Sunday morning, showers and strong to
isolated severe thunderstorms are then expected to develop
north of Interstate 4 and move to the northeast along a line
ahead of a cold front pushing to the southeast. Impacts expected
with these storms will be wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, frequent
lightning, hail that could reach an inch in diameter, and heavy
downpours. A few tornadoes cannot be ruled out mainly north of
Orlando and the Cape.
