    Areas affected...Southeastern Florida

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 440...

    Valid 202255Z - 210100Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 440
    continues.

    SUMMARY...An overall weakening trend has been observed in the
    ongoing convection in WW 440. A small area of modest instability
    still exists over southeast Florida. A strong wind gust or two will
    be the main threats for the next hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...Per regional radar mosaic imagery, the gust front along
    the line of storms from near West Palm Beach to the portions of the
    Florida Keys has moved out ahead of convection. As this has
    occurred, an overall weakening trend has been observed in the
    ongoing convection. This is particularly true in northern portions
    of WW 440 where instability is lower than points to the south.

    With 40-50 kts of flow within the 850-700 mb layer, potential for a
    strong wind gust will exist over far southeastern Florida where
    MLCAPE will be maximized at 1000-1500 J/kg. However, weak mid-level
    lapse rates, boundary-parallel deep layer shear, and a stabilizing
    boundary layer should limit overall storm intensity/organization.
