...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTH

FLORIDA...



...SUMMARY...

Strong to locally severe thunderstorms, capable of marginally severe

wind gusts and hail, will be possible near the southeast Florida

coast this afternoon.



...South FL...

Visible satellite imagery shows a swelling cumulus field over the

Everglades and South FL ahead of a southward-progressing cold front

over the northern part of the Everglades.  A mid-level shortwave

trough located over the Carolinas/northeast Gulf of Mexico

--embedded within a larger-scale eastern North America trough-- will

continue east into the western Atlantic through the evening. 

Continued warming of a moist airmass across south FL will yield

moderate destabilization.  Isolated thunderstorms are forecast to

develop in the vicinity of the front through the mid afternoon. 

Long, straight hodographs combined with more than adequate CAPE will

potentially yield a couple of organized storms.  An isolated risk

for large hail and/or localized damaging gust will be the primary

hazards with the most intense storms.  This activity will push east

of the coast by early evening.  



Elsewhere, quiescent conditions will prevail across a large part of

the contiguous United States.
