The Tornado Watch is in effect until 4pm December 15 2022.

Greatest chance across Lake, Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Osceola, and northern Brevard counties, increasing from north to south from late this morning into the afternoon.
A Tornado Watch means that tornadoes are possible in and near the watch area. Review and discuss your emergency plans and check supplies and your safe room. Be ready to act quickly if a warning is issued or you suspect a tornado is approaching. Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center for counties where tornadoes may occur.
