    Areas affected...the central Florida Peninsula

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 061733Z - 061930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered storms will develop over much of central Florida
    over the new few hours. Locally strong wind gusts and perhaps small
    hail will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a cold front cutting across the
    FL Peninsula, roughly from the Tampa Bay area across Orlando and
    across the Cape. Visible satellite imagery confirms substantial
    towering CU developing along this boundary, and where the sea breeze
    intersects it. Meanwhile, strong heating continues to destabilize
    the air mass, which consists of upper 60s F to near 70 F dewpoints.

    While wind fields and shear are relatively weak aloft, moderate
    instability will support initially robust updrafts along the
    aforementioned boundaries. Cells may tend to propagate in a
    southeastward direction as outflow is produced, and some of the gusts/downbursts could be locally strong. Temperatures at 500 mb
    near 10 C along the favorable/peak heating may support mostly small
    hail in the strongest cores.
