    Areas affected...Parts of the northern FL Peninsula

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 101133Z - 101400Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to locally severe storms are possible this
    morning.

    DISCUSSION...At 11 UTC, a warm front draped across the northern FL
    peninsula is gradually moving northward. Along/south of this
    boundary, dewpoints near 70 F are supporting MLCAPE of near/above
    500 J/kg, despite the presence of generally weak low/midlevel lapse
    rates. While deep-layer shear is more than sufficient to support
    organized convection, storms have generally remained disorganized
    thus far, likely due in part to the weak lapse rates and lack of
    stronger large-scale ascent across the area.=20

    Some increase in large-scale ascent is expected through the morning,
    as a positive-tilt midlevel shortwave trough approaches the region,
    and a frontal wave moves eastward across the northern peninsula.
    With time, more vigorous storm development will be possible
    along/ahead of a cold front approaching the FL Gulf Coast, and a few
    stronger cells/clusters may evolve. 0-1 km SRH in excess of 200
    m2/s2 (as noted on the KTBW VWP) will support at least a brief
    tornado threat if any supercells can be sustained, with localized strong/damaging gusts and small to near-severe hail also possible.=20

    The magnitude/coverage of the severe threat remains uncertain and
    potentially limited, due to generally weak lapse rates and modest
    buoyancy. However, observational trends will continue to be
    monitored for the potential of storm organization within a diurnally destabilizing environment later this morning.
