   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   An isolated thunderstorm will remain possible late this afternoon
   near coastal south Florida.

   ...DISCUSSION...
   The only change to the outlook is to move the thunder line in
   southeastern Florida to near the upper Florida Keys.  The thunder
   potential will gradually diminish from northwest to southeast as a
   cold front moves away from the coast.

   ..Broyles.. 01/29/2018

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1023 AM CST Mon Jan 29 2018/

   ...Synopsis...
   A semi-amplified/progressive large-scale pattern will exist over the
   CONUS, highlighted by an eastward-shifting trough over the eastern
   CONUS and a steadily flattening ridge over the U.S. and Canadian
   Rockies. Prevalent high pressure east of the Rockies and related
   cold/stable conditions will considerably limit thunderstorm
   potential aside from near-coastal parts of Florida as well as the
   offshore waters of the Pacific Northwest.

   ...South Florida...
   A couple of thunderstorms will remain possible this afternoon across
   the southeast Florida Peninsula, Keys vicinity, and adjacent
   offshore waters near and ahead of a southeast-advancing cold front.
   Over time, an increasingly prevalent westerly component near/behind
   the front will yield weakening convergence and a drying air mass
   inland with any lingering thunderstorm potential shifting well
   offshore by tonight.
