Mesoscale Discussion 0389
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1234 PM CDT Wed Apr 15 2020
Areas affected...Central Florida
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 151734Z - 151900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe storms capable of damaging wind
gusts are possible this afternoon and evening. A weather watch is
not anticipated.
DISCUSSION...A line of storms forming along and south of a slow
moving cold front across the Gulf of Mexico has recently intensified
as it continues to move near and onshore of the western Florida
coast. Mesoanalysis indicates 2000-2500 J/Kg of MLCAPE across
central Florida supported by temperatures in the upper 80s and low
90s with dewpoints in the low 70s F. Proximity RAP soundings show
30-40 kt of effective shear driven by a slight increase in upper
level winds associated with a weak shortwave trough. This shear
should promote some storm organization through this afternoon.
Mixing from strong heating across the Florida peninsula, south of
the front, has developed sufficient DCAPE of 700-1000 J/kg. Isolated
damaging wind gusts may occur with any of the stronger storms that
move eastward through the afternoon. A few storms have also
developed inland ahead of the line and may pose a marginal wind
threat. Severe activity is expected to remain isolated and a watch
is not anticipated at this time.
