Mesoscale Discussion 0866
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0612 AM CDT Sun Jun 07 2020
Areas affected...coastal portions of AL and the FL Peninsula
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 071112Z - 071315Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A waterspout or two may approach the coast this morning.
However, the tornado threat will quickly diminish away from the
immediate coast.
DISCUSSION...Low-topped convection has at times shown moderate
mid-to-low level rotation this morning as the outer bands associated
with Tropical Cyclone Cristobal move onshore the northern Gulf
Coast. Surface winds are generally from the east or northeast along
the coast, resulting in enhanced storm-relative helicity and
enlarged 0-3 km hodographs. A very moist environment is in place
along the coast, with dewpoints generally in the low 70s. However,
weak inhibition exists over land, with greater SBCAPE values
confined to the offshore waters. Overall, convection has tended to
weaken as it moves inland, but given strong low level shear, a
waterspout briefly moving onshore cannot be entirely ruled out this
morning.
Conditions may become more favorable for a couple of
waterspouts/tornadoes by early afternoon as surface winds become
more southeasterly and heating results in increasing instability.
However, the short-term threat appears too low to warrant a tornado
watch.
