AND INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES ON WEDNESDAY...THEN UP TOWARDS THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. AHEAD OF THE LOW
AN INCREASING MOIST SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER WEST

AS THE LOW PRESSURE AREA LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT A TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
WEST. AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS
FRONT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES TOWARD WEST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. CURRENT TIMING OF THIS FRONT WOULD BRING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE NATURE COAST BY LATE
WEDNESDAY...WITH THIS ACTIVITY SPREADING SOUTH TOWARD THE TAMPA
BAY AREA BY EARLY TO MID MORNING ON THURSDAY...AND THEN ACROSS
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

AT THE CURRENT TIME SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COMBINED WITH
STRONG PREFRONTAL CONVERGENCE AND INCREASING WIND SHEAR WITHIN THE
ATMOSPHERE MAY SUPPORT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AS THE FRONT
MOVES SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION...ESPECIALLY FROM THE BAY AREA NORTH
THROUGH THE NATURE COAST...WITH THE MAIN HAZARDS BEING DAMAGING
WINDS AND POSSIBLE ISOLATED TORNADOES AND WATERSPOUTS. IN
ADDITION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND DEADLY LIGHTNING STRIKES WILL
ACCOMPANY THE STORMS.
