The combination of a cutoff upper-level low over the Florida panhandle and northeast Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic ridge axis over the Florida Straits and the northern Bahamas generated deep southwest flow across central Florida. Despite early day showers and storms, clouds cleared during the afternoon allowing daytime heating to occur. Both the east coast and west coast sea breezes developed, with the west coast being more progressive due to southwest winds. As the two collided over eastern Orange and Osceola counties, numerous thunderstorms formed along a line from Orlando south to Lake Okeechobee. As the line of storms pushed across the Brevard County coasts it produced numerous strong to severe wind reports.
