The wider storm
Strong low pressure over the eastern Gulf of Mexico resulted in a slow-moving pre-frontal trough focusing heavy convective rainfall over portions of the middle and upper Florida Keys. One EF0 tornado was observed on Big Pine Key in association with a small supercell which evolved in advance of the passing squall line. In additional, strong winds associated with a convectively-induced mesoscale low pressure system over the middle and upper Florida Keys resulted in moderate to major coastal flooding near the shores of Barnes and Card Sounds.
Began near Ocean Reef (25.3219, -80.2774).
