FORECAST: Rain expected to move out by afternoon after tornado warning lifted

 Ahead of a complex of rain and thunderstorms moving in Saturday night and Sunday morning from the Gulf of Mexico, the National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for a 10-county portion of Central Florida, including Osceola.

A Tornado Watch means that conditions are favorable for a tornado activity and formation, so residents should be aware of conditions and be ready to take shelter if necessary. This is different from a Tornado Warning, which is notice that a tornado or strong storm that could include one has been confirmed by weather watchers or radar.

Per the National Weather Service in Melbourne: 

An upper level disturbance will track across east central Florida ahead of an approaching "cool front" on Sunday. Later this afternoon, scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are expected to develop, before weakening and pushing offshore during the evening. Some storms may be strong to severe. After a lull in the activity, another round is forecast to follow late in the night into Sunday morning. The threat with this next round will be from strong winds and the potential for tornadoes due to favorable wind fields, especially Brevard-Osceola counties northward through or just after sunrise. While storm motion will be towards the northeast or east at 35 to 40 mph this afternoon and evening, storms overnight will race from 45 to 60 mph eastward due to the strong wind fields above the surface.
