...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across parts of south and
central Florida this evening, but no severe threat is forecast.

...DISCUSSION...
West to northwest mid-level flow will continue across most of the
U.S. this evening. At the surface, a cold front will move southward
through central Florida. A moist airmass is present to the south of
the front, where surface dewpoints are in the 60s F. Low-level
convergence will be enough for isolated thunderstorm development
this evening. However, instability will remain very weak, limiting
any potential for a severe threat. Elsewhere across the continental
U.S., conditions will be unfavorable for thunderstorms through
tonight.
