    Areas affected...Western Florida Peninsula

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 292344Z - 300215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A tornado threat is expected to develop across the western
    Florida Peninsula this evening. Once the tornado threat begins to
    develop, a tornado watch will be needed, likely later this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Hurricane Idalia will continue to move
    north-northeastward across the eastern Gulf of Mexico this evening.
    The outer bands of Hurricane Idalia will begin to impact the western
    coast of Florida in a few hours. As these bands move into the
    coastal areas later this evening, strong low-level shear will be
    maintained as a low-level speed max brushes the coast. The latest
    WSR-88D VWP at Tampa Bay has 0-3 km storm-relative helicity near 500
    m2/s2, and RAP forecast soundings increase low-level shear along the
    western coast from south to north over the next few hours. This
    suggests that discrete cells embedded in the outerbands of Idalia
    may develop tornado potential. The threat is forecast to gradually
    transition northward to the area southwest of Gainsville, Florida by
    late evening.
