Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible today. 0-6Km bulk shear values are expected around 30 knots across northern Florida this afternoon. Highs in the low 90s with dew points in the low to mid 70s yields cape values close to 3000 j/kg. PW values are expected to climb to around 2.25 inches. 500-mb temperatures will start out around -8c with some warming expected during the day. Increasing dynamics in very moist and unstable airmass will be supportive for a few severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts and large hail.
