Large Hail Threat in Orlando, FL Today, March 16, 2022

Models are trending towards a significant threat of large hail over the Orlando area and south in Florida today. The combination of a tight closed low pressure area moving through Alabama and Georgia this afternoon will bring strong energy into Florida. The interaction with plenty of moisture and energy will spark supercells capable of large hail, potentially larger than baseballs this afternoon.

Here is what the HRRR model shows for storm development at 4:00pm ET. These types of discreet cells allow for maximum energy and rotation for large hail. We’ll see how it progresses in the next few hours!
