Julie it has been a very acti winter season for us across the southeast, from the southwest to the southeast because of the strong el nino we are under and here are just over two dozen reports of tornadoes from louisiana, mississipip in towards alabama, the panhandle of florida dealing with Severe Weather threats. This is what occurred over the last 24 hours all because of the same system that right now the area of lolo pressure with this system is headed towards the mid atlantic states. The cold front associated with the system is bringing some ststng to Severe Weather over portions of the carolinas and over central florida. So thats what were going to continue to watch because that system will continue to push towards the northeast and east. As it does so, the tail end of Severe Weather threat later today. We do have a tornado watch box in affect for parts of the carolinas until 7 00 p. M. We are expecting strong t severe storms possibly into south florida all because of whats going on right now over the gulf of mexico. We have a squall line of storms right n over the gulf of mexico headed in towards fort myers. This will slowly push towards the east, northeast. Nohern broward, northwestern broward will deal with storms first and eventually everyrying will push towards the southeast and we will all have to deal with the shower and thunderstorm activity. Currently though what you are seeing over ft. Lauderdalal miami and homestead is basically just an echo from the actual radar. The rain itself stiti concentrated over the gulf of mexico so we still have time to prepare for some very strong storms going into the evening commute and the evening hours. As we take a live look outside, everybody enjoying this beautiful beach day. Boy, things are going to change in the next few hours. Temperatures right now a muggy 85 degrees in hialeah, 84 in ft. Lauderdale, 82 in homestead. The winds out of the south wind speeds anywhere between 9 and 16 miles per hour. Our feels like temperature something we havent seen in months, it feels like 90 degrees in hialeah and kendall. This is very dangerous a we await for a cold front to move in because whats going to en is the collision of the two air masses with that storm front moving in the leading edge of the front itself could provide for that threat for seveve weather. We will keep you posted all afternoon long. We have our Weather Authority meteorologist here and i will keep you posted throughout the newscast with more coming up. Ladies .
