...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms remain possible across the Florida Peninsula
through early tonight.

...Synopsis...
A surface cold front continues to move offshore into the Atlantic,
aided by the eastward advancement of an upper trough over the Great
Lakes. Much of the low-level moisture and favorable buoyancy for
organized thunderstorms has either diminished or moved offshore with
the cold front. Some low-level moisture and instability remains
across the FL Peninsula, where thunderstorms are currently in
progress. These storms should benefit from residual buoyancy for a
few more hours before nocturnal stabilization and the arrival of the
cold front limits thunderstorm potential.
