DISCUSSION...A storm cluster has intensified this afternoon across the northeast Gulf, where an offshore buoy recently reported a gust of 52 kt at 2050 UTC. This storm cluster appears to be accompanied by a midlevel vorticity maximum and surface low, as evidenced by rather strong pressure falls at the buoy preceding the severe gust. Downstream of this storm cluster, modest destabilization has occurred across central and southern parts of the FL Peninsula, along and south of a baroclinic zone draped from near/south of Tampa eastward to just south of Cape Canaveral.=20 Weak lapse rates (as observed in the 18Z TBW sounding) will tend to limit instability across the peninsula into this evening. However, any organized storm structures that approach the coast, or develop inland near the boundary, may be able to persist within the favorably moist environment near and south of the baroclinic zone. A substantial increase in 0-2 km AGL flow has recently been noted in the KTBW VWP, which will also aid in maintenance of any organized cells/clusters, and provide sufficient effective SRH for low-level rotation.=20 A brief tornado will be possible near and south of the surface boundary, where at least weak surface-based buoyancy will persist through the evening. Locally gusty/damaging winds will also be possible, especially with any of the stronger offshore storm structures as they approach the coast later this evening. ...Dean/Smith.. 12/07/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7e8V0kKyYNyHZDF_6digFczHshBgr-qxD4igE8qLqQA6qD9SgtETJQqq5xCgR4QcIfYFaQlNP= wf206873sgVdYnO8tk$ for graphic product...
