FOX 35 Weather Alert Day Thursday

FOX 35 Chief Meteorologist Glenn Richards is tracking the potential for severe weather on Thursday.

A FOX 35 Weather Alert Day has been declared on Thursday for Central Florida.

The latest storm risk outlook has the entire viewing area in a "marginal risk" for severe weather into Thursday morning. This means the potential for damaging winds, heavy rain, and perhaps some small hail could accompany some of the stronger storms as they move across Central Florida. 

The severe threat will continue closer to Orlando by mid-late morning into the afternoon hours. Again, primary threats during this time appear to be damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and some small hail.

The tornado threat is extremely low but we won't let our guard down in the FOX 35 Weather Center. We will track this threat until the very end for you.
