There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA SUMMARY Severe thunderstorms are possible across the northern and central Florida Peninsula through early evening. Northern/Central Florida At midday, a line of gradually intensifying storms extends northeast-southwestward across the northern Florida Peninsula to the nearby Gulf, with additional offshore development occurring about as far south as the Tampa Bay vicinity. This line will continue to move inland and further intensify as the boundary layer warms inland in conjunction with near-70F surface dewpoints. Some additional more-discrete development may occur ahead of the line, potentially focusing along the east coast. Damaging winds are the most probable severe hazard as low/mid-level winds further strengthen, albeit with a tendency for low-level veering over time. Even so, a tornado or two could occur aside from damaging winds. Western Oregon/northern California Influenced by upper-jet exit region and the prominent trough off the coast of Oregon/California, a few stronger storms may develop across the region late this afternoon through early evening. While gusty winds and/or small hail could occur, the potential for organized severe storms should remain low given the modest instability and weak deep-layer shear.
