News 6 viewer Dawn Giachetti captured the cloud formation on the south shore of Lake Minneola near Clermont.
A second round of strong storms is forecast to strike parts of Central Florida on Wednesday. The wraparound moisture associated with the original area of low pressure will move through Central Florida in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, severe weather that pushed through Central Florida over the weekend caused more than $15 million in damage in Ocala.
Commissioners received an update Tuesday after the original estimate was placed at $12.3 million.
