The National Weather Service issued Special Weather Statements for Titusville, Mims, and Oak Hill on June 21, 2026, warning of 50 mph wind gusts and pea-sized hail. The alerts, active until 2:45 p.m. EDT, come as scattered thunderstorms moved east across Central Florida, bringing localized hazards. Travelers on I-75 and I-95 were advised to exercise caution due to slow-moving downpours that could produce up to four inches of rain and minor street flooding through Sunday evening.
Storm activity began around 11 a.m. when the NWS noted isolated strong thunderstorms developing west of Interstate 75. Forecasters highlighted the risk of frequent lightning, localized downpours, and sudden wind gusts between 40-50 mph across the interior peninsula. The storms, part of a broader summer solstice weather pattern, temporarily eased triple-digit heat indices but introduced new challenges for residents and commuters.
The NWS Jacksonville office tweeted that storm activity was intensifying near the I-95 corridor as a southwest flow pushed toward the east coast sea breeze. Special weather statements specifically targeted areas near Titusville and Mims, where hail the size of a pea and gusty winds were most likely.
Residents in affected areas were urged to monitor updates, as the National Weather Service emphasized the potential for sudden changes in weather conditions. The storms, while not expected to be widespread, could impact travel plans and outdoor activities through Sunday night.
