...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA...

...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and an isolated
tornado are possible over central Florida this afternoon.

...Eastern NC...
A strong cold front and an accompanying line of intense
thunderstorms that affect the Carolinas this morning has move
offshore, ending the severe threat in that area.

...Central FL...
Farther south, the same cold front is sagging slowly southward
across central FL.  Scattered strong storms continue along this
line, with occasional strong/damaging wind gusts being reported. 
12z model guidance suggests this activity will weaken during the
afternoon as large scale support departs the region.  Recent IR
cloud top and lightning trends suggest this trend has already
started.  Nevertheless, an isolated severe threat may persist into
mid-afternoon.
