Parts of Central Florida are under an isolated weather threat due to possible severe weather risk on Tuesday. The areas at most risk include central locations and certain parts of the east, specifically west of I-95. The biggest threats are strong wind gusts, coin-sized hail, frequent lightning strikes and locally heavy rainfall. The most significant impact is expected between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. However, the timing might change depending on how early storms start to develop and how long they linger.

STRIP. 517 RIGHT NOW, WE KNOW CENTRAL FLORIDA SAW RAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS THIS WEEKEND. IT BROUGHT A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF TO SOME LOCAL FARMERS. THE PRESIDENT AND OWNER OF SOUTHERN HILL FARMS IN CLAREMONT WELCOMED THE SHOWERS WITH OPEN ARMS. DAVID HILL TELLS US IT’S BEEN ABOUT TWO MONTHS WITHOUT IT NOW. IT’S BEEN A DAILY STRUGGLE FOR FARMERS TO KEEP THEIR CROPS HEALTHY IN THESE DROUGHT CONDITIONS. WE PROBABLY PAY $70,000 A YEAR FOR OUR WATER JUST FOR THE RECLAIM PLUS THE WELL WATER.
