Mon Mar 10 10:10:00 UTC 2025: **Florida Braces for Windy Spring Storm**
ORLANDO, Fla. (March 8, 2025) – Florida is expected to experience a period of unsettled weather this weekend into Monday, as a low-pressure system moves across the southern US, fueled by a “shared energy region” of interacting jet streams. According to Digital Meteorologist David Nazario of WKMG ClickOrlando, this system, influenced by El Niño conditions developing in the Pacific, will bring significant rainfall and strong winds to the state.
Rain is expected to begin on the west coast of Florida late Sunday afternoon, spreading eastward across the peninsula overnight and into Monday. The storm’s center is predicted to move near Steinhatchee and Perry, Florida early Monday morning. Central Florida, including Orlando, will likely see organized showers and thunderstorms around lunchtime Monday, with conditions clearing by the early afternoon.
Sustained winds of 10-20 mph are anticipated, with gusts potentially exceeding 30 mph in some areas. There is a heightened risk of severe weather, including strong winds and the potential for isolated tornadoes, in northern Florida, potentially impacting areas such as Gainesville, Ocala, and counties further east. Residents are urged to stay informed and monitor weather updates.
