   Mesoscale Discussion 0713
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0631 PM CDT Sun May 24 2020

   Areas affected...far South Florida

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 242331Z - 250130Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms moving onshore may pose a risk for a brief
   tornado this evening. A weather watch is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...A weak sub-tropical low passing near the Florida
   Straits is driving easterly flow across much of the peninsula and
   keys. Thunderstorms ahead of this low have shown occasional
   low-level mesocyclones. A very moist environment with temperatures
   and dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s, is supporting weak MLCAPE of
   500-1000 J/kg. Model forecast soundings show deep easterly wind
   profiles in the low and mid-levels are enlarging hodographs
   slightly. This will likely support a few rotating updrafts through
   this evening. A brief tornado will be possible, but the threat is
   expected to remain very isolated, and a watch is not expected.
