    Areas affected...portions of the Atlantic coastline of the Florida
    Peninsula

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

    Valid 111714Z - 111915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms will pose a
    risk for locally damaging wind gusts and perhaps isolated large hail
    this afternoon, with the greatest potential expected primarily along
    the Atlantic coastline of the Florida Peninsula.

    DISCUSSION...Strong heating of a moist low-level air mass (as
    sampled by the 12z TBW observed sounding) is contributing to
    moderate to locally strong instability across much of the Florida
    Peninsula, with latest mesoanalysis depicting MLCAPE ranging from
    around 1500 J/kg to 2500+ J/kg. Thunderstorm coverage will increase
    through the afternoon, with westerly effective shear of 35-45 kts
    supporting organized updrafts. In a similar scenario to yesterday, a combination of multicells and marginal supercell structures will be
    possible. With PWAT values of 1.75+ inches, water loading will
    promote the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts with stronger downdrafts. Isolated large hail will also be possible with more
    robust updrafts.

    The greatest severe potential is expected along the Atlantic
    coastline, where greater low-level moisture seaward of the
    east-coast sea breeze will support greater buoyancy through the
    afternoon. Watch issuance is unlikely at this time owing to the
    forecast limited magnitude and coverage of the severe risk, but
    trends will continue to be monitored.
