Valid 242038Z - 242245Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165
continues.
SUMMARY...Threat for thunderstorms capable of hail and/or damaging
gusts continues across central and southern FL.
DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery shows numerous ongoing
thunderstorms across central and south FL, with a predominantly
multicellular storm mode. A few supercells, both left and right
moving, have be observed as well. Somewhat chaotic storm motion has
been noted, as these storms have tended to discretely propagate
along their outflow. There have already been numerous storm
interactions as well. Temperatures have already dropped into mid 70s
across central FL, where mesoanalysis now suggests some convective
inhibition is in place. Even with this inhibition, large-scale
forcing for ascent will persist across the region, augmenting any
mesoscale ascent along outflow boundaries and/or that results from
surface convergence. As such, thunderstorms are expected to continue
for the next few hours, with an attendant risk for hail and/or
damaging gusts. Storm coverage will likely begin to decrease over
west-central/southwest FL first as the ascent moves through, with
gradual clearing then occurring west to east across the peninsula.
