brevard county and volusia will take a pretty good beating over the next 48 hours. this storm is slowing down and that will mean longer lasting rainfall. flooding and tornadoes will be the main concern.

the center should pass between orlando and the space coast sometime tonight around 8pm - 12am and then kick back out into the open waters of the atlantic in the overnight hours wed. into thu.

in orlando you will start to notice the winds picking up around midday today and then get pretty strong in the late afternoon hours. i would expect winds  around 30mph-50mph.

be careful with rotating storms today. they could produce tornadoes with very little warning to get to safety.
