The wider storm
With the influence of a mid-level trough to the north, a surface low pressure system moving across the Southeast U.S. pulled a warm front across South Florida on the morning of January 6th. This brought plenty of warm air and diurnal instability to the area ahead of a cold front, which was the source of lift to spark several showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Some thunderstorms became severe, producing a funnel cloud and two tornadoes.
Began near Moore Haven (26.8700, -81.1200).
