   Mesoscale Discussion 0876
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0752 PM CDT Sun Jun 07 2020

   Areas affected...central Gulf Coast

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 080052Z - 080245Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...A few storms have exhibited transient rotation as Tropical
   Storm Cristobal has made landfall. A brief, weak tornado cannot be
   ruled out and strong wind gusts are also possible. A watch issuance
   is not expected at this time.

   DISCUSSION...Tropical Storm Cristobal made landfall over an hour ago
   and a few showers have exhibited some weak rotation. Storms are
   moving to west-northwest as rain bands move northward. Recently a
   couple of showers exhibited weak rotation in/around Mobile Bay, but
   quickly weakened when they moved onshore. A brief, weak tornado
   remains possible to the north/east of the tropical storm center
   where low level shear/helicity remains maximized. However, the
   tornado threat should be isolated. Localized convectively enhanced
   wind gusts are also possible within these rain bands. Given the
   marginal and isolated severe threat, a watch issuance is unlikely,
   but the situation will continued to be monitored.
