...SQUALL LINE TO IMPACT WEST FLORIDA THURSDAY...

A SIGNIFICANT SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO FORM AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND IMPACT WEST FLORIDA DURING THE MORNING
HOURS THURSDAY. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...A STRONG LOW-LEVEL
JET OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS...ALONG WITH GOOD UPPER-LEVEL VENTILATION
WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM
ALONG THE LINE. THE BEST COMBINATION OF CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS WILL
LAST ONLY A FEW HOURS AND WILL MOST LIKELY ONLY AFFECT AREAS FROM
TAMPA BAY NORTHWARD. STORMS THAT MOVE ASHORE NEAR THE BAY AND TO
THE NORTH WILL LIKELY PRODUCE WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH AND VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL...WITH AN ISOLATED WEAK TORNADO NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF
POSSIBILITY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NATURE COAST. THE SQUALL LINE
IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE NATURE COAST BEGINNING AROUND 7 AM
EST...WITH THE BAY AREA SEEING IMPACTS BY 9 AM...AND AREAS FURTHER
SOUTH BETWEEN 9 AND 11 AM.

THE LINE WILL WEAKEN WITH TIME DURING THE MORNING...AND AREAS
SOUTH OF TAMPA BAY WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE STORMS SUBSTANTIALLY
WEAKER THAN THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE. HOWEVER...ISOLATED STRONG STORMS
MAY STILL EXIST BUT WILL BE VERY ISOLATED IN NATURE.

RESIDENTS SHOULD PLAN ON MAKING SURE THEIR NOAA WEATHER RADIO IS
IN GOOD WORKING ORDER...AND SHOULD EXPECT THE MORNING COMMUTE TO
BE WET AND WINDY IN MANY LOCATIONS ALONG THE COAST.

STAY TUNED TO YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER SOURCE FOR UPDATES ON THIS
EVOLVING SITUATION.
