...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND NORTHERN FLORIDA....
...SUMMARY...
Isolated damaging wind gusts or a brief tornado may occur this
afternoon from northwestern Florida and the eastern Florida
Panhandle to extreme southern South Carolina.
...GA/FL...
A broad upper trough remains over the eastern CONUS today, with the
primary trough axis rotating across the central Appalachians into
the Mid-Atlantic region. The southern fringes of the stronger
westerlies extend as far south as north/central FL. Meanwhile, the
associated surface cold front is sagging southward across southern
GA into north FL. A warm/moist air mass is present ahead of the
front, where sufficient afternoon CAPE values will promote the
development of scattered thunderstorms. Low-level winds are
strongly veered, limiting convergence and vertical shear in the warm
sector. Nevertheless, CAM solutions suggest a few cells will form
across the MRGL risk area later today. 30+ knot southwesterly winds
just above the surface may be sufficient to result in locally
gusty/damaging winds in the strongest cells. Present indications
are that the activity will remain rather disorganized.
