AREAS AFFECTED...THE EAST-CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 224...
VALID 052233Z - 060030Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 224
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WITHIN A BUOYANCY MAXIMUM WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN A LINGERING SEVERE HAIL AND WIND THREAT FOR THE
NEXT 1-2 HOURS ACROSS THE EAST-CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA.
DISCUSSION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG A CONVECTIVELY
REINFORCED SEA-BREEZE BOUNDARY HAS RESULTED IN OVERTURNING OF A
BUOYANT AIR MASS FOR MUCH OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN EAST COAST OF
FL. HOWEVER, A RELATIVE MINIMUM IN CONVECTION ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PART OF THE EAST COAST (ROUGHLY BETWEEN LAKE OKEECHOBEE TO ORLANDO,
FL AND EASTWARD) HAS LEFT A RESERVOIR OF 2000-2500 J/KG MLCAPE. OVER
THE PAST 15-30 MINUTES, ROBUST CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE
SEA-BREEZE BOUNDARY AND IS MIGRATING INTO THIS CAPE MAXIMUM. 0-6 KM
BWD VALUES BEHIND THE SEA-BREEZE REMAIN NEAR 40 KNOTS PER THE KMLB
VWP, WHICH WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS WITH AN ATTENDANT RISK FOR
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL, POSSIBLY UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF
BALLS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD PERSIST FOR THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS BEFORE
DESTRUCTIVE STORM INTERACTIONS, CONVECTIVE OVERTURNING, AND THE
ONSET OF NOCTURNAL COOLING LEAD TO A GRADUAL REDUCTION IN THE SEVERE
THREAT.
