Valid 131300Z - 141200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.
...Synopsis...
Another quiet convective weather day is expected, as relatively dry
and stable conditions will preclude convection in most areas. One
exception will be over south FL, where dewpoints near 70F and
sufficient MUCAPE will pose a risk of isolated afternoon and evening
thunderstorms. No severe storms are expected.
