    Mesoscale Discussion 0050
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0818 PM CST Wed Jan 23 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of the FL Panhandle...far southeastern
    AL...and far southwestern GA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 240218Z - 240415Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A semi-organized line of thunderstorms will continue to
    pose an isolated strong to damaging wind threat for the next couple
    of hours before weakening as it moves eastward this evening. Watch
    issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...A wind gust to 50 kt was observed at KLOR in
    southeastern AL at 0118Z as a line of thunderstorms moved through,
    with other surface observations showing wind gusts of generally
    30-45 kt across far southeastern AL and the western FL Panhandle. A
    couple reports of tree damage have also been received across this
    region. 40-50 kt of effective bulk shear will support continued
    storm organization in the short term. But, instability wanes quickly
    with eastward extent in the FL Panhandle and far southwestern GA as
    surface dewpoints likewise decrease from the mid 60s to upper 50s.
    The 00Z sounding from TLH showed an inversion around 620 mb and very
    minimal instability, which will likely induce weakening of the
    ongoing line of thunderstorms as they move eastward through the
    remainder of the evening. Still, at least some potential for an
    isolated strong to damaging wind gust should persist for the next
    couple of hours, particularly near the coast in the FL Panhandle
    where instability, although weak, is slightly greater than locations
    farther inland. A brief, line-embedded tornado can also not be
    completely ruled out given the very strong low-level shear noted on
    the KEVX VWP.
