   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE CENTRAL
   FLORIDA PENINSULA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday across the
   central Florida Peninsula and isolated strong to severe storms are
   possible in portions of the Mid-Atlantic.

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper low will move from the Ohio Valley to the Great Lakes on
   Sunday. At the surface, a cyclone will occlude through the day as it
   moves from northern Illinois to southern Ontario through the period.
   At the beginning of the period, an occluded front will extend from
   the surface low in northern Illinois to western Pennsylvania. A cold
   front will extend from this occluded front southward to the Gulf
   Coast States. 

   ...Florida...
   An MCS should be ongoing at the beginning of the period from the
   Florida Panhandle into the northeastern Gulf as a result of
   increasing isentropic ascent from a strengthening low-level jet.
   This activity is expected to mature during the morning hours as it
   moves into the central Florida peninsula. Extensive cloud cover will
   likely limit surface heating, but temperatures in the low 70s and
   dewpoints in the upper 60s should be adequate for moderate
   instability, especially given the moderate mid-level lapse rates.
   The greatest severe threat will likely be during the morning hours
   when the most intense convection is expected to be oriented
   north/south as it crosses central Florida. Through time, the
   convection is expected to become parallel to the deep-layer flow and
   thus the outflow is likely to outrun the convection to the south.
   This may limit the overall severe threat by mid to late afternoon as
   the MCS sags south across the Peninsula. Damaging wind gusts will be
   the primary hazard with this activity. 

   ...Mid-Atlantic...
   Modest low-level moisture is expected to surge northward ahead of a
   cold front which will move through the Mid-Atlantic through the day.
   This cold front will serve as the primary focus for isolated to
   scattered strong to severe storm development during the afternoon
   and evening hours on Sunday. Moderate MLCAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg
   is expected across the Carolinas into Virginia ahead of this storm
   activity Sunday afternoon. Farther north, instability is expected to
   be weaker but sufficient for a marginal damaging wind threat.
   Effective shear of 35 to 45 knots across the warm sector will aid in
   storm organization as it moves east-northeastward with damaging
   winds as the primary threat. Large hail will be a greater threat
   from Maryland southward where greater instability is forecast.
