...FL...
No significant changes have been made to the ongoing severe
thunderstorm forecast. 12z CAM solutions continue to indicate that
scattered thunderstorms will spread inland into the central FL
peninsula along/ahead of an approaching cold front. The risk may
develop by late this afternoon, but consensus of solutions suggests
the risk is greater after dark and through the night. Forecast
soundings show a moist/unstable low-level air mass, along with
sufficient low-level and deep-layer vertical shear to promote
rotating storms and bowing structures. Several models also promote
discrete convection ahead of the front, which would also contribute
to the risk of a tornado or two and locally damaging wind gusts.
The threat of severe storms will likely focus over the western
peninsula, with a decreasing risk as storms proceed eastward late
tonight.
