..SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND THE
ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SURGE EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF
OF MEXICO AND COMBINE WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT DIVING ACROSS THE
MIDWEST TO CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
BEGINNING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE AREA SOUTH
TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL FUNNEL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA...AND
INCREASING WIND SHEAR NEAR THE LOW AND FRONT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
STRONG STORMS. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS
PLACED MOST OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY.

TWO DISTINCT PERIODS OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE POSSIBLE. THE FIRST
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A WARM FRONT BEING PULLED NORTH BY THE LOW
PRESSURE AREA CROSSING THE GULF. ABUNDANT MOISTURE...LOW-LEVEL
WIND SHEAR...AND HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY PROVIDE THE
NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. THE SECOND WILL
BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY. STRONG WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT...WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES A POSSIBILITY.

UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW PRESSURE AREA
TRACKING ACROSS THE GULF. IF THIS LOW HOLDS TOGETHER THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL BE INCREASED. MORE UPDATES ON THE STRENGTH AND
TIMING OF THE LOW AND COLD FRONT WILL BE ISSUED AS THE STORM
APPROACHES.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...COMMERCIAL TELEVISION OR RADIO
STATIONS...OR YOUR CABLE TELEVISION PROVIDER FOR LATER STATEMENTS
CONCERNING THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SEVERE WEATHER EVENT.
