OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – A confirmed tornado touched down in Osceola County Monday during an intense round of storms.
The tornado touched down at approximately 7:15 p.m., around a mile northeast of Pine Grove just north of Nova Road.
The tornado lifted at about 7:23 p.m.
There were no immediate reports of damage.
Wind detection shows the tornado vortex signature, the area where the rotation is being detected on radar. This is where the red and green colors are tight together.
The red represents rain being blown away from the radar while the green is toward the radar.
Radar can also detect differences between rain drops, hail, bugs and debris. The lightening of the color near Nova road is debris being picked up by the tornado.
This debris can be anything from dirt to twigs to trees.
The environment was not primed for tornadoes, however, the colliding east and west coast sea breezes were intersecting with an outflow boundary or rain-cooled air from a thunderstorm.
This provided just enough spin to produce the brief tornado.
This serves as a reminder that routine afternoon storms can turn severe quickly when the sea breeze is involved.
