    Areas affected...southern Florida

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

    Valid 231609Z - 231915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorm development, possibly including an
    isolated supercell or two, may initiate during the next 1-2 hours
    along the Atlantic coast sea-breeze, particularly near or
    north-northwest of the Palm Beach vicinity, before gradually
    increasing through late afternoon across the interior southern
    peninsula.

    DISCUSSION...Deepening convective development is evident along the
    Atlantic coast sea-breeze, south of Melbourne into the Palm Beach
    vicinity. This is where the latest objective analysis indicates
    that mid-level inhibition is weakening in response to insolation, as
    heating of a seasonably moist boundary layer contributes to
    mixed-layer CAPE increasing in excess of 2000 J/kg.

    Stronger low-level confluence/convergence currently appears focused near/northwest of the Palm Beach vicinity, where isolated
    intensifying thunderstorm development might be most probable through
    17-18Z. In the presence of moderate westerly shear, beneath broadly
    cyclonic, 30+ kt westerly mid-level flow and relatively cool
    mid-level temperatures, the evolution of a supercell posing a risk
    for large hail and perhaps a brief tornado appears possible.

    Thereafter, a gradual further increase in scattered thunderstorm
    development appears possible with continued destabilization
    along/ahead of slowly inland advancing Atlantic and Gulf coast
    sea-breezes. Aided by interactions with outflow and, perhaps,
    gravity waves generated by earlier initiating convection, the
    convective evolution remains unclear, but widely scattered stronger
    cells across the interior southern peninsula may be accompanied by a
    risk for marginally severe hail and locally damaging wind gusts.
