...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...SOUTH CAROLINA...AND PARTS OF WEST-CENTRAL
TO NORTH TEXAS....

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon over parts
of the Florida Peninsula and South Carolina, and late afternoon into
tonight over parts of west-central to north Texas.

...FL...
A warm/moist air mass is present across the central/southeast
portions of the FL Peninsula today, where pockets of daytime heating
will yield afternoon moderate MLCAPE values around 2000 J/kg.  At
least isolated thunderstorms are expected to form across this area
during the afternoon, tracking slowly eastward toward the coast. 
Forecast soundings suggest low/deep layer shear is not particularly
strong, but given the favorable thermodynamics, a few strong to
briefly severe storms capable of hail and damaging winds will be
possible - especially near the east coast.  The severe threat should
diminish after sunset.

...SC...
Multiple weak shortwave troughs are rotating across the Carolinas
today.  One feature is currently over western GA, accompanied by a
cluster of showers.  This activity will move into SC this afternoon,
where daytime heating will help to steepen low level lapse rates and
lead to at least marginal CAPE values.  Low level winds will be
quite veered and relatively weak.  However, a storm or two may be
briefly intense with gusty winds or hail.

...TX...
Clear skies will lead of strong heating and steepening lapse rates
across west-central TX today.  Most CAM solutions suggest one or two
storms could form in the well-mixed zone near San Angelo late this
afternoon.  Steep mid-level lapse rates would support a risk of hail
or damaging wind gusts in these storms.  After dark, a strengthening
southerly low-level jet would likely allow this activity to become
more numerous and spread northeastward toward the Red River.  The
overall severe threat would likely weaken after dark, but could
still pose a risk of occasional hail or gusty winds.
