Severe weather alert

This just crossed my desk. Warning about severe weather.

Emergency Management participated in a conference call with the NWS Tampa Bay and neighboring counties this morning to discuss possible severe weather. A low pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico will move into the state early Wednesday morning. By early Wednesday afternoon this system will bring rainfall and heavy winds into West Central Florida. The risk of hail and tornado's will increase on Wednesday into Thursday. The system is forecast to stall over Central and South Florida on Thursday. Storm totals of 2" to 4" of rain are forecast between Wednesday into Sunday. Heavier amounts of rain and damaging winds will be possible as thunderstorms move through the area.
