   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
   AND NORTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible today over
   portions of the Florida Peninsula.

   ...Synopsis...
   A large upper trough amplification will occur into the central part
   of the CONUS, with a leading wave moving from the Gulf of Mexico
   across the Southeast during the day. While high pressure will limit
   destabilization and thunderstorm potential over the majority of the
   country, a moist air mass will exist south of a stationary front
   which will exist across northern Florida. The unstable air mass over
   Florida, in combination with strong winds aloft, may result in a few
   severe thunderstorms during the day.

   ...Central Florida Peninsula...
   Storms are forecast to be most numerous early in the day, when upper
   divergence is maximized near the entrance region of the upper jet.
   Upper 60s F dewpoints will contribute to 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, with
   relatively poor lapse rates aloft. The greatest threat of a few
   severe storms would appear to be along the stationary front as
   storms track northeast along it. This will augment low-level storm
   relative inflow, which when combined with the moist unstable air
   mass may yield a few severe storms capable of damaging gusts. A
   supercell or two cannot be ruled out as well, with effective SRH in
   excess of 200 m2/s2 along and north of the boundary.

   While daytime heating will aid further destabilization into the late
   afternoon, large-scale lift is forecast to decrease by this time.
   This may act to reduce severe storm coverage, from west to east.
