   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF
   NORTHERN FLORIDA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A couple of tornadoes remain possible across a portion of northern
   Florida through about 5 pm EST.

   ...Northern Florida...

   Primary adjustment to previous forecast has been to trim the slight
   risk area to be focused in proximity to an east-west boundary. A
   couple of tornadoes remain possible with storms developing inland
   across northern FL as they move east-northeast and interact with the
   east-west oriented stationary boundary. Otherwise, a marginal risk
   for a few strong wind gusts remains possible with storms developing
   farther south along a north-south boundary moving inland from the
   western FL coast.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1024 AM CST Sun Feb 14 2021/

   ...North and central FL...
   An MCV near the FL/GA border attendant to a mid-level jetlet
   expected to progress northeast along the South Atlantic coast will
   likely be the northern extent of deep convection this afternoon.
   With the surface front currently draped across Dixie to Flagler
   counties, this initial convection should remain elevated amid a weak
   mid-level lapse rate environment atop a near-surface stable layer.
   Severe potential will likely be tied to convective development
   occurring in a trailing fashion to the south-southwest that can
   progress within the baroclinic zone this afternoon. Here, an
   adequate environment for a supercell or two might support a risk for
   a brief tornado and locally damaging winds. Later this afternoon
   into the evening, low-level flow will become increasingly veered and
   hodograph curvature will decrease as the mid-level jetlet moves
   farther away from the region, curtailing severe potential with time.
   Otherwise, a localized/marginal severe threat may accompany
   convection that forms towards peak heating along the east coast sea
   breeze as far south as the Lake Okeechobee vicinity.
