There have been a few severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings in North Florida this afternoon.

One of the storms that showed radar indications of a possible tornado is passing just north of the Daytona International Speedway.

A tornado warning was issued for the area including the race track since there was some concern that the storm might turn a little more southeast toward the speedway.

Racing has been suspended for some time now because of rain and thunderstorms.

A marginal severe weather threat continues for much of the Gulf Coast and the northern two thirds of the Florida Peninsula as thunderstorms tap relatively unstable air in those areas.
