> **Visual Context:** A Max Velocity tornado risk map for Tuesday, October 6, 2026 (updated 11:02 AM CDT) highlights a notably small 2% tornado risk polygon along Florida's west coast, covering areas including Holiday, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Venice. The graphic visually supports the claim of an unusually small risk area, with the polygon confined to a narrow stretch of the Tampa Bay region where brief waterspouts or tornadoes could occur.

> "This might be the smallest tornado risk polygon I have ever seen... 

A brief waterspout/tornado or two will be possible around the St. Petersburg area as we progress through the remainder of today!"
