Mesoscale Discussion 0070
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0937 PM CST Fri Jan 31 2020
Areas affected...South Florida
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 21...
Valid 010337Z - 010500Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 21
continues.
SUMMARY...A mature bowing segment is moving across south Florida
over the next 1 to 2 hours. Damaging winds will be the primary
threat, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
DISCUSSION...The bowing segment moving toward south Florida has
reached maturity with a well-defined rear-inflow jet entering
southern Monroe County. Overall, relatively weak flow in the lowest
3 km (peak wind 20 knots from KEY 00Z sounding) is likely limiting
the intensity of this bow with overall wind speeds likely in the 40
to 50 mph range. However, some isolated stronger wind corridors are
possible within this line. In addition, some weak mesovorticies have
been present, especially along and north of the apex of the bow. An
isolated tornado may be possible in this region, but the
aforementioned weak low-level winds should limit the overall tornado
threat.
Temperatures in the mid 70s and dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s
should provide ample instability (500 to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE) for this
line to continue across the southern tip of Florida, impacting the
Miami area between 11PM and midnight EST.
