From the SPC 2 day outlook.

...FL / FAR SERN GA...
MOIST / MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS FORECAST ACROSS THIS REGION
AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT AS NEARLY MOIST-ADIABATIC LAPSE
RATES ARE ANTICIPATED. THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT ACROSS NRN PORTIONS OF FL SWWD INTO THE GULF...AND
SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE PENINSULA
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY SHOULD REMAIN LIMITED...MODERATELY-STRONG /
ROUGHLY UNIDIRECTIONAL SWLY DEEP-LAYER WIND FIELD WOULD SUPPORT A
THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS -- PARTICULARLY IF STORMS CAN ORGANIZE
INTO SMALL LINES / BOWS.
