PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – A tornado watch was issued for much of the southern Florida peninsula and Florida Keys.
It was in effect until 2 p.m. Sunday and covers Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties.
Local 10 News’ Brandon Orr said it was the last push of severe weather expected to move across South Florida.
The main potential threats were tornadoes and damaging wind gusts.
Hail has been a big problem across Florida last week, but the cold pocket in the middle layers of the atmosphere has moved away so hail is not a big concern. Flooding is also a lower concern since the storms will be quickly moving through.
Once the storms moved past South Florida around 2 p.m., a sunny afternoon was forecast. Lower humidity will filter into Florida and was noticeable by late this afternoon.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 8 p.m. For Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties for frequent wind gusts to 40 mph, even outside of any thunderstorms.
