   Mesoscale Discussion 0058
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0249 PM CST Sat Feb 06 2021

   Areas affected...Central/Northern Florida Peninsula

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 062049Z - 062215Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Strong to severe storms moving onshore across the western
   coast of Florida may pose a risk for damaging wind gusts, hail and a
   tornado over the next few hours.

   DISCUSSION...Several strong storms including a few supercells are
   approaching the western coast of the central/ northern Florida
   Peninsula. These storms are moving along a northward moving warm
   front located near Ocala. Instability north of the front remains
   elevated and weaker than to the south where surface heating and
   dewpoints in the 60s have contributed to 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE.
   Despite the limited buoyancy along and north of the front, severe
   weather appears possible with the ongoing and additional convection
   this evening. Deep-layer shear of greater than 50 kts will support
   supercells capable of isolated large hail north of the front.
   Additional surface based destabilization will be possible with
   low-level warm advection as the front continue to move northward
   this evening. The greater buoyancy and enhanced low-level shear
   along the front will likely result in an increased severe risk as
   storms become progressively more surface based. The primary hazards
   will be damaging wind gusts, hail, and perhaps a tornado.
