    Mesoscale Discussion 1703
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0654 AM CST Sun Dec 09 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of the northern/central FL Peninsula

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 091254Z - 091500Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong/gusty winds and perhaps a tornado may
    occur with storms moving eastward from the Gulf of Mexico this
    morning. Watch issuance is unlikely at this time.

    DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms ahead of a cold front
    has intensified over the eastern Gulf of Mexico over the past couple
    of hours. Strong low-level warm and moist air advection ahead of
    this line along with modest diurnal heating should allow for some destabilization across parts of the northern/central FL Peninsula
    this morning. Recent surface observations across this region
    indicate dewpoints have generally increased into the upper 60s, and
    MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg should develop through mid-morning. The
    strongest mid-level flow associated with a southern-stream shortwave
    trough over MS/AL/TN will likely remain north of the warm sector in
    FL. But, there will still be considerable veering and strengthening
    of the low/mid-level winds based on RAP/HRRR forecast soundings.
    40-50 kt of effective bulk shear will support updraft rotation with
    supercells embedded within the line, and the KTBW radar has shown
    some recent mid-level rotation with a couple of these cells
    offshore. Isolated strong to perhaps damaging winds should be the
    main threat with this convection as it moves quickly eastward this
    morning and low-level lapse rates modestly steepen. A tornado cannot
    be ruled out over the next couple of hours when hodographs will have
    maximum curvature owing to a 35-40 kt low-level jet. Still, tendency
    will be for instability to remain weak/marginal owing mainly to poor
    mid-level lapse rates, and the overall severe threat will probably
    remain too isolated to warrant watch issuance.
