   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms are expected today from Florida to the
   Carolina Coast.

   ...FL/Carolina Coast...

   Progressive short-wave trough currently located over the lower MS
   Valley will eject east into GA early in the period, deamplifying in
   response to a digging short-wave over the central Plains. This lead
   feature will encourage a weak surface low to track across the
   northern Gulf Basin into the FL Big Bend region by 21/00z. Ahead of
   this disturbance, modified Gulf air mass will spread toward the FL
   Gulf Coast enabling weak buoyancy to materialize along the southern
   fringe of the influence of the GA short wave. Forecast soundings
   suggest near-surface based convection could develop ahead of the
   surface wave within a weak warm advection regime. While deep-layer
   flow would seemingly support supercells, low-level shear is not
   forecast to be that strong and any organization would likely remain
   sub-severe. Although, gusty winds could be noted with a few
   thunderstorms as they move onshore.
