2008<BR><BR>...SQUALL LINE TO IMPACT WEST FLORIDA THURSDAY...<BR><BR>A
SIGNIFICANT SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO FORM AHEAD OF AN<BR>APPROACHING COLD
FRONT AND IMPACT WEST FLORIDA DURING THE MORNING<BR>HOURS THURSDAY. ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE...A STRONG LOW-LEVEL<BR>JET OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS...ALONG WITH GOOD
UPPER-LEVEL VENTILATION<BR>WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM<BR>ALONG THE LINE. THE BEST COMBINATION OF CONVECTIVE
PARAMETERS WILL<BR>LAST ONLY A FEW HOURS AND WILL MOST LIKELY ONLY AFFECT AREAS
FROM<BR>TAMPA BAY NORTHWARD. STORMS THAT MOVE ASHORE NEAR THE BAY AND TO<BR>THE
NORTH WILL LIKELY PRODUCE WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH AND VERY
HEAVY<BR>RAINFALL...WITH AN ISOLATED WEAK TORNADO NOT OUT OF THE REALM
OF<BR>POSSIBILITY.<WBR>..ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NATURE COAST. THE SQUALL
LINE<BR>IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE NATURE COAST BEGINNING AROUND 7
AM<BR>EST...WITH THE BAY AREA SEEING IMPACTS BY 9 AM...AND AREAS
FURTHER<BR>SOUTH BETWEEN 9 AND 11 AM.<BR><BR>THE LINE WILL WEAKEN WITH TIME
DURING THE MORNING...AND AREAS<BR>SOUTH OF TAMPA BAY WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE
STORMS SUBSTANTIALLY<BR>WEAKER THAN THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE. HOWEVER...ISOLATED
STRONG STORMS<BR>MAY STILL EXIST BUT WILL BE VERY ISOLATED IN
NATURE.<BR><BR>RESIDENTS SHOULD PLAN ON MAKING SURE THEIR NOAA WEATHER RADIO
IS<BR>IN GOOD WORKING ORDER...AND SHOULD EXPECT THE MORNING COMMUTE TO<BR>BE WET
AND WINDY IN MANY LOCATIONS ALONG THE COAST.<BR><BR>STAY TUNED TO YOUR FAVORITE
