Severe weather hit the UCF area yesterday, with a tornado warning posted for Orange County and hail reported just north of campus.

KnightNews.com got tips that the UCF Rec and Wellness center was briefly put on lockdown while the storms passed.

One tree near the main entrance of campus was snapped near its base yesterday, but it’s not clear if that was due to the weather or something previous.

Sunday afternoon and evening could also bring afternoon thunderstorms, with a rain chance of 40 percent.
