The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
Tornado Watch for portions of

       much of central Florida Peninsula
       coastal waters

Effective this Thursday morning and evening from 1100 am until
600 PM EST.

Tornadoes... hail to 1 inch in diameter... thunderstorm wind gusts
to 70 mph... and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.

The Tornado Watch area is approximately along and 65 statute
miles north and south of a line from 60 miles west northwest of
Saint Petersburg Florida to 30 miles east northeast of Melbourne
Florida. For a complete depiction of the watch see the
associated watch outline update (wous64 kwns wou9).

Remember... a Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.

Discussion... strong/veering shear profiles coupled with a moist and
modestly unstable air mass will support supercell development moving
ewd off Gulf across central FL. Primary threat will be tornadoes
associated with any supercell.

Aviation... tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500.
Mean storm motion vector 27035.

... Lake Wind Advisory in effect from 9 am this morning to 7 PM
EST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay area - Ruskin FL has
issued a lake Wind Advisory... which is in effect from 9 am this
morning to 7 PM EST this evening.

A warm front will lift north over the area today with low pressure
developing along the boundary as it moves across northern Florida.
The tightening pressure gradient will allow winds to increase to
around 20 mph later this morning and afternoon with gusts to
around 30 mph.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast
to be 20 to 29 mph with frequent gusts to near or above gale
force for at least 3 hours. Winds of these magnitudes will
create rough conditions on larger area lakes which could produce
damage to... or flip... small pleasure craft.

Outdoor enthusiasts may wish to postpone lake related activities
until conditions improve.
