Good afternoon everyone. We continue to watch very slow moving heavy showers and thunderstorms across parts of Florida; which are now concentrating along the east coast and west coast sections.

Places such Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm, Stuart, and Port St. Lucie are getting in on the action now as west coast energy transfers to the east. We're still not done yet on the west coast though, with a new fetch of heavy storms rolling towards the Tampa area from the Gulf of Mexico.

Due to the slow moving nature of these showers and storms, expect more flooding, plus the possibility of embedded severe weather. We have already seen reports of funnel clouds, water spouts, and strong winds associated with some of these storms.

Elsehwere, we are begining to see the moisture slowly building up in parts of Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska in the form of light scattered showers. These won't remain innocous for too long, and we are expecting showers to build into clusters of severe weather later this afternoon and evening.

Like yesterday, we may not see widespread severe weather watches, but more on the line of individual severe thunderstorm warnings across parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and possibly into Kansas. Look for clusters and/or individual thunderstorm cells capable of very large hail, frequent lightning, torrential rain, damaging winds, and the possibility of an isolated tornado.
