    Mesoscale Discussion 0136
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0331 AM CST Sat Mar 02 2019

    Areas affected...portions of the Florida Panhandle into far
    southeast AL and southwest GA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 020931Z - 021200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A strong storm or two could produce small hail and perhaps
    some gusty winds through early morning. The overall severe threat
    will remain limited, and a watch is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have increased in coverage and intensity
    over the last hour from the western FL Panhandle into far southeast
    AL and southwest GA. The most intense cells are currently near the
    Elgin AFB 88-D. Based on latest mesoanalysis, these storms are
    likely elevated with weak to moderate inhibition along the coast and
    well inland. These cells likely will remain elevated, with some
    increasing chance for surface-based convection after sunrise when
    heating and some marginally better low level moisture overspread the
    area.

    That being said, MLCAPE values ranged from around 500-1000 J/kg
    across the MCD area with midlevel lapse rates around 7 C/km.
    Additionally, effective shear around 35-45 kt is evident in both
    objective analysis and regional 88-D VWP data. As a result, some
    stronger, sustained updrafts are possible. Given environmental
    parameters, marginally severe hail could accompany the strongest
    cells. Should storms become surface-based, a strong wind gust also
    would be possible. Given the marginal nature of the threat, a watch
    is not expected at this time.
