ORLANDO, Fla. – Storm coverage is expected to grow in coverage and intensity through the afternoon and evening. The primary threat is very large hail, sizes ranging from larger than golf balls to baseballs (2-3 inches in diameter).
The damaging wind threat is also elevated.

A brief tornado can’t be ruled out, but it is not the main threat Wednesday. Torrential rain and frequent lightning will accompany any storm that develops.
Storms will favor the Orlando area and east toward the Atlantic coast through the early evening.
Like Tuesday, storms will then likely develop along and around the Interstate 75 corridor and drift east toward Orlando and I-4.
Hail this large is rare in general, but even more uncommon in Florida.
