Mesoscale Discussion 0851
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1104 AM CDT Sat Jun 06 2020
Areas affected...Central/Southern FL
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 061604Z - 061700Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...A few deeper cells with a transient and brief threat for
tornadoes are possible across central/southern FL for the next
several hours.
DISCUSSION...Enhanced low to mid-level flow around the far
northeastern periphery of TS Cristobal is currently glancing the
west-central/southwest coast of FL. Recent TBW VAD data sampled a
strong and veering wind profile with over 180 m2/s2 of 0-1 km SRH.
This enhanced wind field overlies very moist surface conditions
which are in place across all of the central and southern FL
Peninsula. Current surface observations reveal temperatures in the
upper 70s/low 80s and dewpoints in the upper 70s. These very moist
and moderately warm conditions are helping foster moderate buoyancy,
with mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE over 2000 J/kg across the area.
Even with this favorable buoyancy and shear, the warm profiles will
still limit updraft depth and overall storm persistence.
General expectation is for updrafts to occasionally/briefly become
strong/deep enough to produce lightning. These deeper, more
persistent updrafts could also briefly become organized enough for
quick tornadogenesis. This scenario is more likely in areas where
clearing allows for modest heating and steep low-level lapse rates.
Some clearing has been noted along a line from roughly VNC
southeastward to just south of MIA. Convective trends will be
monitored closely over the region.
