The National Weather Service found evidence that an EF-0 tornado likely touched down Tuesday afternoon just south of Downtown St. Petersburg. The possible tornado damaged an apartment roof and sent debris flying near the Barlett Park area of St. Pete. Pinellas County 911 reported the damage just before 4:30 p.m. to the National Weather Service, the agency said. At the scene, roofing material appeared thrown across the parking lot. An NWS meteorologist surveying the area found damage consistent with a peak wind speed of 82 mph. Evidence shows the "brief" tornado was 10 yards wide, according to the NWS report. Elsewhere, strong thunderstorms brought down tree branches and tore up a backyard awning Tuesday afternoon in the Eagles neighborhood in northwestern Hillsborough County. As of this writing, storm damage across the Tampa Bay area appears to be relatively minimal — mostly tree and some property damage. Forecasters warned throughout the day that a gusty squall line could spawn tornadoes and produce wind gusts to 70 mph.
