Areas affected...FL Space Coast
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 41...
Valid 102046Z - 102145Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 41
continues.
SUMMARY...The severe risk for Severe Thunderstorm Watch #41 appears
to be focusing near Cape Canaveral over the next hour.
DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery shows a storm with weak supercell
characteristics over Orange County to the immediate north of an
outflow boundary. Strong directional shear due to easterlies at the
surface veering to south-southwesterly at 1 km is acting to augment
the hodograph. A hail/wind threat could accompany this storm if it
is maintained as it moves east of the Cape over the next hour.
Farther west, a decaying squall line over the greater Tampa Bay area
will likely continue to signal a decrease in the severe risk for
much of west-central FL. The remaining threat for strong storm
development may depend on storms developing over east-central FL
ahead of the outflow from the squall line.
