202 ACUS01 KWNS 071938 SWODY1 SPC AC 071936 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0136 PM CST Sun Dec 07 2025 Valid 072000Z - 081200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA... ...SUMMARY... Isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado are possible across parts of the Florida Peninsula beginning late this afternoon through the evening. ...20Z Update... No changes to the outlook are required. See the previous discussion for additional information. ..Wendt.. 12/07/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1019 AM CST Sun Dec 07 2025/ ...Florida Peninsula... Late morning radar/satellite composite shows a rain shield and embedded convection along a west-east oriented, southward-sagging front over the north-central Gulf. This rain activity is possibly the result of a weak disturbance moving eastward across the northern Gulf of America within the base of a larger-scale mean trough over the central and eastern part of North America. This disturbance is forecast to move into north FL late today and east of the FL/GA coasts by mid-late evening. Considerable cloudiness will likely persist near/north of I-4 and combine with meager low to mid tropospheric lapse rates to thereby limit destabilization. However, a seasonably moist airmass will probably yield a few hundred J/kg MLCAPE prior to an increasing prevalence of showers/thunderstorms moving east from the Gulf into the west/northern portions of the Peninsula towards late this afternoon and evening. Ample mid- to high-level flow will support storm-scale rotation contingent on a sufficiently strong updraft or two developing within this zone of convection. The risk for localized strong/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief tornado may accompany the strongest storms, mainly during the 22-08 UTC period, as this threat shifts from northwest to south across the Peninsula. $$
