   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE FLORIDA
   KEYS AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA PENINSULA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few tornadoes will be possible across parts of Florida Tuesday
   into Tuesday night, in association with Tropical Cyclone Ian.

   ...Synopsis...
   The deep mid/upper-level trough over the eastern CONUS is forecast
   to gradually weaken and shift eastward on Tuesday. Farther west, a
   vigorous mid/upper-level trough will approach the Pacific Northwest,
   while a weak upper ridge persists over portions of the Southwest and
   southern Plains. With dry and stable conditions covering most of the
   CONUS, the primary concern will be the potential impact of Tropical
   Cyclone Ian across Florida. 

   ...Florida...
   Tropical Storm Ian is forecast to intensify into a hurricane on
   D1/Monday as it moves toward western Cuba, and then move into the
   southeast Gulf of Mexico on D2/Tuesday. See NHC advisories and
   forecasts for more information regarding Ian. Rich tropical moisture
   will remain in place through the period across the Keys and most of
   the peninsula, south of a cold front that will become nearly
   stationary across north FL. Strengthening low-level flow/shear will
   support a gradually increasing threat of rotating cells within any
   rain bands associated with Ian. Some tornado threat may be ongoing
   at the start of the period across the lower FL Keys, with this
   threat spreading northward with time, and potentially peaking late
   in the period as favorable low-level shear/SRH overspreads a larger
   portion of the peninsula. 

   Uncertainties remain regarding Ian's track and intensity, and the
   magnitude of destabilization, but at this time the greatest threat
   for a few tornadoes appears to be over the FL Keys and southwest FL
   Peninsula, in closer proximity to the forecast track of Ian through
   12Z Wednesday. A 5% tornado area has been included for these areas,
   though some adjustments will likely be needed in subsequent outlooks
   as Ian's forecast track and intensity are refined, and important
   mesoscale details come into better focus.
