OKEECHOBEE-
947 AM EST MON JAN 25 2010

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING OKEECHOBEE COUNTY...

AT 946 AM EST...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS DETECTED
A CLUSTER OF STRONG STORMS ABOUT 12 MILES SOUTHWEST OF BASINGER
...MOVING NORTHEAST AT 40 MPH.

LOCATIONS IN THE PATH OF THIS STRONG STORM INCLUDE FOUR SEASONS
ESTATES AND TAYLOR CREEK.

THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND
GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH...WHICH MAY CAUSE UNSECURED OBJECTS TO
BLOW AROUND. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL TEMPORARILY REDUCE VISIBILITY. SEEK
SHELTER INDOORS UNTIL THE STORMS PASS.

TORRENTIAL RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED...CAUSING TEMPORARY PONDING ON
SOME ROADS AND MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. MOTORISTS
SHOULD SLOW DOWN IN HEAVY RAINFALL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HYDROPLANING
AND LEAVE SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN OTHER VEHICLES.
