Areas affected...South Florida

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 011739Z - 011945Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Scattered storms are possible primarily near and along the
South Florida coast this afternoon. Isolated damaging winds and
marginally severe hail are the expected hazards. A watch is not
expected.

DISCUSSION...Convection continues to increase near the South Florida
coast this afternoon as temperature are reaching the upper 70s to
low 80s F. Localized convergence along with modest mid-level ascent
appears to be the largest contributors to this activity. With time,
a more well-developed sea breeze will likely move inland and promote
additional development. Around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE and 30-35 kts of
effective shear will allow a few storms to organize and potentially
produce isolated damaging winds and marginally severe hail.
Convection over the Gulf Stream has produce outflow that is
approaching the eastern Peninsula coast. This could impact the
duration of the most intense activity, though a brief uptick in wind
gust potential is also possible as this boundary interacts with
ongoing storms.
