   Areas affected...central parts of the Florida Peninsula

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 141820Z - 141945Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...A couple of damaging gusts are possible through the
   afternoon hours with the stronger wet downbursts. The severe threat
   should be isolated and a WW issuance is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...Pulse-cellular storms have increased in coverage over
   the last 1-2 hours given strong surface heating (i.e. surface
   temperatures exceeding 90 F, with convective temperatures being
   breached). As the boundary layer continues to mix/deepen through the
   afternoon, additional storms should develop. MLCAPE should exceed
   2000 J/kg on a widespread basis, supporting wet downbursts for the
   stronger thunderstorms. Given PWATs approaching 2 inches, enough
   momentum from water loaded downdrafts may be generated to support a
   couple of damaging gusts. Nonetheless, the severe threat should be
   very sparse, precluding a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance.
