Mesoscale Discussion 1791
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0124 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2020
Areas affected...southern Florida Peninsula
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 111924Z - 112015Z
CORRECTED SECOND SENTENCE OF SUMMARY
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A few locally strong wind gusts and perhaps a brief
tornado are possible this afternoon over the southern Florida
Peninsula. Overall threat does not appear sufficient to warrant an
additional WW, but WW 507 can be locally extended a few counties if
needed.
DISCUSSION...As of early afternoon, convection within one of the
outer bands of hurricane Eta has undergone some strengthening,
primarily from the western FL Keys northeastward into the
southwestern portion of the FL Peninsula. Visible satellite imagery
shows several cloud breaks, and surface temperatures have risen to
the mid 80s F contributing to destabilization of the moist boundary
layer. Latest objective analysis show MLCAPE from 1000-1500 J/kg in
this region. However, tendency has been for low-level winds to
slowly veer as the center of ETA continues northward. This has
resulted in a modest reduction in size of 0-1 km hodographs. The 18Z
RAOB from Miami indicates 0-1 km storm relative helicity around 170
m2/s2, down from 220+ m2/s2 on the 12Z RAOB. Nevertheless, this
parameter space remains adequate for a few stronger storms capable
of producing locally strong wind gusts and perhaps a brief tornado
or two.
