Event narrative

A brief tornado occurred over northern rural Osceola County as confirmed by a combination of video evidence from local media partners and data from the National Weather Service Melbourne (KMLB) radar.

The brief, and likely weak, tornado developed as a result of numerous low-level boundary collisions. The circulation is estimated to have touched down at approximately 18:14 LST along the southern side of Lake Joel in St. Cloud, near Sungrove Ln and

the C-32 Canal. KMLB radar data indicates the circulation, along with a corresponding debris signature, moved east over a densely wooded area before subsequently lifting around 18:22 LST, just west of Storey Bend Rd.

Given limited access to the affected area, the track is considered approximate, and an EF rating cannot be provided.
