Rare to have two severe weather watches in the same day in pretty much the same spot, but here we go...
Severe thunderstorm watch is up for central #Florida until 5pm. Main threat will be for damaing wind gusts up to 70 mph, scattered large hail, and perhaps a tornado or two.

A TORNADO WATCH has been issued...SkyTower Radar: bit.ly/fox13rd

Gross. It's a steam bath out there with dew point in St. Petersburg at 79°. #Florida #Skytower

It was the complete summer package today .... from severe weather this morning to triple digit heat indices this afternoon. #Florida #Skytower

Sensationalize?? Sure. That's what we do. Just scare the crap out of people for no reason. Trust me, I'd be perfectly fine never having to track/forecast another hurricane heading towards Florida.

Wednesday looks active with scattered to numerous showers/t-storms developing early in the day. Some could be strong/severe. Need the rain. Not the severe. #Florida #Skytower

Rainbows, sun dogs, and halos are all optical illusions. They are not really there.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's atmosphere. They are indeed physically there!

Everyone sitting in a window seat last night over North America who was looking north got the view of a lifetime! 📷 Kimber Lambert on a Delta jet somewhere over the Heartland. #aurora
