Severe weather continues to pose a threat in Florida, as the state experienced the unexpected occurrence of two tornadoes on Monday. Now, residents are bracing for the possibility of additional tornadoes and isolated damaging winds on Tuesday.

The stormy weather initially hit St. Lucie and Martin counties, resulting in Tornado Warnings being issued and leaving thousands of residents without power. Palm City also saw downed trees as a result of the severe conditions.

Meteorologist Jane Minar from FOX Weather described the situation as surprising, as the storms produced not just one, but two supercells that tracked across Central Florida. The National Weather Service confirmed the touchdown of two tornadoes near Interstate 95 and Interstate 895.

As the severe weather unfolded, the opposite side of the state faced its own challenges. Thunderstorms in the Cape Coral area caused flooding on the streets and left cars stalled due to the heavy rainfall.

The FOX Forecast Center has warned that isolated thunderstorms are ongoing on Tuesday, as a cold front moves southeastward throughout the day. Several supercells are expected to develop, with a focus on northern parts of Central Florida in the morning and southern parts in the afternoon.

Cities such as Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Cape Coral, and Clearwater are currently under Level 1 out of 5 on the severe storm threat scale. This means that a few brief tornadoes are anticipated, along with the potential for isolated strong wind gusts in the strongest storms.

Residents are advised to remain vigilant despite the unexpected nature of these storms. Minar emphasizes that Florida could experience another punch from the severe weather, urging people to stay alert and prepared.

As the severe weather threat lingers over the Florida Peninsula, residents are hoping for the storms to subside towards early evening. Until then, they remain on guard as the unpredictable weather continues to impact the area.
