that is why we're here to find out where it is for you and let you know where potentially it is going, we slowed it down some, the rotation hadn't been persistent looking or reflectivity hadn't been looking. we get our net work of radars you can still see it, at least a broad rotation, if not a significant rotation at the ground, this twisting action moving into extreme southeastern sections of orange county. a heads up, you have our weather apps, they are great because they have our weather alerts tab on them so they are not waking you up in the middle of the night for what you don't care about. if you do for your weather radios are set they are going off in orange county, if you are watching in the orlando area, this is to the southeast of you, and this is where it's headed, this twisting action here, you see the reds and the greens that is where we have a bit of a twist right here in
4:16 am
just about to move across the 5:20, in fact it would be moving across 5:20 out toward i 25, i don't want you on the roads, 520, delay any early morning deliveries you have, and i want you and your family in a safe spot, we don't need to be alarmed about this in a scary situation, i know it's dark outside, you have the kids upstairs in bed, i want them in a safe spot because your safety is our number one priority, this is where we have the twisting action, we are actually looking at some of the winds and some of the pixels here and we are seeing some decent winds, if this is producing a tornado we are talking about ef-0 potentially ef-1, looking 70, 80, 90 miles per hour with the winds, orange county, brevard county line, we've been checking in with the national weather service, but this is about to move in from
4:17 am
>> here is what i'm seeing, the rotation hadn't gotten tighter but the strong winds have broadened up out, so now we are getting a good push of wind, we are talking 50-060-mile an hour range, there is still some rotation, now you are having a bigger wind field, a larger wind field of damaging winds, you are going to have this rotation, actually i believe this storm has gotten stronger in just the last five minutes, based on the velocity, the tornado potential has not changed it's still on the medium side let's say for a low tornado, but the overall storm threat has increased because the wind velocities in that storm has gotten greater. the last 15-20 minutes we continue have that 5 minutes ago, this storm is picking up as it moves off. we'll lose some of the tornado
4:18 am
as that storm kind of pushes out winds in one direction and that could be the evolution that we are seeing the next 5- 10 minutes, listen, there is still an active tornado warning the next 12 minutes moving into the far western sides of of brevard county right now, you are not going to be able to see this, this tornado is going to be rain.rad, a lot of lightning, heavy rainfall in this area with a tornado warning going on until 4:30, brian i will bring you back in here, for our friends who live in this air/o area 528, 5ed 5, port st. john, look at the heavy rain right now, as this rotation heads their way, thearchy routed in rain -- shrouded in rain. you don't want to be outside and you want to be in your safe spot, although we are still seeing signs of rotation, true
4:19 am
to see a severe strong storm working in, 60-70 miles per hour, a new time frame for you, slowing everything down, it's generally moving to the east, northeast at 30 miles per hour, moving into cocoa mow in 20 minutes, winds 24, watching the winds inside of this, rusty was talking about brighter red colors we are seeing there, we can see all of this evolve as it is going to go push off to push off east, northeast, safe spot over 520 over 95, this is going to pull into our northern and central sections of brevard county, that is where the heaviest weather is going to be just about crossing i 995 where we are go -- i-95, reset, show you what is going on. greatest threat for severe weather will be oceola and brevard county, sunny later today, tornado watchup, that is
4:20 am
brevard county until 8:00 this morning, that may be allowed expire earlier, the bright shading is the tornado warning that goes on for another 10 minutes. we are still seeing heavy weather. severe threat i 4 to the north again pretty much done with, this line stretching from brevard to orange, oceola and down to the south, that is where we have the potential of severe weather, you see it for yourself, you have lived here in central florida, we are going to see some strong wind that may wake you up, moving into brevard county, southern sections, too. melvin, palm bea, this 20 minutes ago, we'll seen good old fashioned rain, in this line that's moving in, here is one of our markers picking up on rotation right now, south side of st. cloud but not at the surface so we are watching out for some markers. here is this line moving over toward whittier in 9 minutes, as eventually into brevard
4:21 am
in this line rusty and i are watching out for signs and rotations, george wall den berger is standing over here, we are going to dissect this for a potential tornado. that line is moving into brevard county with strong winds, hang tight on that morning drive. here is a lock at what we are seeing now, we are going to get close tore where that potential tornado would be, the signs there are still some strong winds, you are still seeing a little bit of what we could almost -- >> super strong winds. >> that is about to hit i-95 now, 528, i-95, that is where the heaviest weather is moving. city point away from windows, here is grace ham parkway, indoors, away from windows as this races in, this is just moving into i-95, very strong winds and if there is a tornado lots of rain with it, it's not something you are going to be seeing coming, that is why we
4:22 am
95 now rusty even if it's not a tornado, very strong winds that are going to be moving in. >> there is still rotation, brian with it, tornado warning is still in effect and it does include os sequel la, brief and county, but if this storm holds together over the next 7 minutes i promise you the weather service will extend the tornado warning. broad area of rotation moving into the western sides of brevard county, i have seen the wind field, the strong winds really expand on the eastern side of this, those are the bright reds and pinks, when we look at that 60-70-mile an hour winds, ef 0 tornado would cause, straight line winds or actually rotating wins from a weak tornado, if you live in the area, coco harps, port st. john take your tornado precautions strong winds will be moving across i-95 in the
4:23 am
tornado warning is up until -- it was 4:30 earlier. >> yeah, it was 4:30. >> it's now 5:00 so that tornado warning we are going to go stay with you, we've been mentioning although it's been changing some has been hanging together, so we've been seeing the rotation intact so the tornado warning is out now until 5:00 that is why we are on air with you, i want the kids from the top level into the lowest level of the home. i know if they are sleeping, i've got an 8-year-old, 5-year- old, 2-year-old, you do want to take them downstairs though in brevard county, safety first, i want them away from windows, you can still tuck them in, let them go back to sleep, i want them downstairs, that is point being that is a dad talking, here is a lock at what we are seeing in this rotation here headed over toward the sharps area in 15 in had thes that is the issue, the potential of flying debris, this is the verbiage coming out of the national weather service that
4:24 am
mobile homes could be damaged or destroyed, we've seen that over the years especially in the el nino seasons, it would be best if you are were somewhere else. but mobile home damage will be possibility, damage to roofs, windows and again vehicles. i know i'm up early all the time chatting with you on facebook and twitter, we have a lot of folks making early delivery runs, we work 24-7 across central florida, i need you to be off the roads on i- 95, all the way out toward kfc, out to the cape, we talked about tornado plans, you think in your house, your apartment where you want to be, get to the lowest level of the house, let your friends know what is going on, too. there is splitting port st. john, out toward cape can a real, that is where the tornado
4:25 am
we don't get a confirmed tornado, this is nasty weather moving in with winds gusting 50- 60 miles per hour and more so especially if this does drop a tornado, we are using our network to see what is going on, orange county, brevard county line hitting i-95 right now, that is where it's moving in. >> it's starting to wrap up. >> again. >> radar, so that is to the south. >> you are shooting out from down here. >> letting us see the southern flank of that storm, you can see the weak region, the green right there, that is concerning from a meteorologist perspective, that is showing there is rotation beginning to increase, i am telling you right now there is a good reason why they have extended that tornado warning until 5:00, at unfortunately this storm looks to be getting stronger toward more populated areas, friends, this is a dangerous situation right now, tornado warning is in effect,
4:26 am
if you live in a mobile home they could be damaged or destroyed, we talked about not being in a mobile home in this kind of situation, avoid west facing windows as well, put as many walls between you and the outside, pick an interior closet, if you don't feel safe there get into a bathtub, put your mattress over you and your family, whatever you want to do, protect your head, flying debris, i know when i worked oklahoma they would put on bicycle helmets or football helmets, it really is that important if tornado heads your way you are not going to have a lot of time to really take those precautions you need to do it now. again, this is very important what i'm seeing right now that is an increase in intensity with this potentially tornadic storm just to the west of i-95 right now, let's get into the velocity mode again, brian, as you can see, switch over to another source here. it does look like the wind field is still very very strong
4:27 am
and again you can see the twist just south of 528, we've been seeing this since we were talking about this since 3:30, 3:45, here we are going on 4:30 with a tornado warning out until 5:00. the idea here is whether or not we actually have a tornado moving across i-95, we need you safe, rusty was talking about.so of the precautions, so again port st. john parkway, port st. john whatever your tornado plans are especially at nighttime, early in the morning go ahead and take those, do those and get away from the windows, throw on the bike helmet if we have a potential of a tornado, if you have windows breaking, bike helmet, you want your cell phone with you in your pocket, have your cell phone with you, stuff it in your pocket so after things are said and done with you have that with you, you can throw on glasses and have your shoes on even with straight line winds we can have windows breaking,
4:28 am
of night put your shoes on, if we have glass breaking in some spots we don't want you getting cut in that as well, dress up, hang with us, potential tornado. time frame has consistently slowed, rotation is the same crossing 5:28, worse weather i- 95, sharps, grace ham parkway that is the sector if you are hearing me, watching me and you live in one of these zones that is where we need to take you the tornado prosecute precautions, our 3-d radar gives us an idea not only the hype but an idea what is going on inside the storm, sometimes this could pick out the tornado or potential tornado, the twisting motion itself, you can see it here, you see the greens and brighter colors, this time of morning this is a decent storming rolling in, 10,000- foot line, or 20,000-foot line- up to 30,000 feet there, and
4:29 am
there is rock ledge and that is i-95 here, can you see us scanning through this storm with our 3-d radar using all the tools, technology that we have, our radar, sometimes you see the sw eeps going on, those are the different radars, give us different elevations and different cuts of the storm. incredibly impressive storm for this time of year, this time of morning, classic el nino situation, brevard county down through south florida. really through about 6:00-7:00, tornado watches for os see yell la and brevard the next two hours. so we get back to the action and what is going on here with over toward parts of brevard county, that is where the heaviest weather is in that red shading we are seeing here, rusty, you can see as we hear through this, you get almost what you would see as blank spots with the green that could be a sign with motion what is
