   Mesoscale Discussion 0680
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1259 PM CDT Sun May 04 2025

   Areas affected...eastern parts of the Florida Peninsula

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 041759Z - 042030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...Sparse strong wind gusts may accompany the stronger storms
   that develop, and an instance of hail cannot be ruled out. A WW
   issuance is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are maturing along a remnant frontal
   boundary across the northern Florida Peninsula, and are poised to
   progress into a destabilizing airmass, where over 1500 J/kg MLCAPE
   is already in place. Despite adequate buoyancy, deep-layer shear is
   expected to be weaker compared to the southern FL Peninsula, where
   the 300 mb jet maximum will be located later this afternoon. As
   such, the modest buoyancy and mediocre shear profile should limit
   severe wind and hail from becoming widespread, though a couple of
   strong wind gusts are still possible, along with an instance of
   hail. Given the isolated nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance
   appears unlikely.
