    Mesoscale Discussion 2324

    Areas affected...Extreme south GA into north FL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 101540Z - 101745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Some threat for a brief tornado and/or locally damaging
    wind may persist through late morning, with an increasing threat
    possible across parts of the northern Florida Peninsula by early
    afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A QLCS is moving across south GA into the eastern FL
    Panhandle this morning, with a possible brief tornado recently noted
    near the FL/GA border, near where a supercell was earlier absorbed
    into the line. In the short term, this QLCS will be moving eastward
    into an increasingly stable low-level environment, and some
    weakening appears likely. However, relatively favorable low-level
    and deep-layer shear (as noted on the 12Z TLH sounding and recent
    VWPs from KVAX) amid seasonably rich low-level moisture may continue
    to support a threat for a brief tornado and/or locally damaging wind until/unless a more definitive weakening trend commences.=20

    Some heating has been noted across northern portions of the FL
    Peninsula, and somewhat more substantial destabilization is possible
    by early afternoon in this area. Also, some increase in low-level
    flow is possible with time, due to the increasing influence of an
    approaching mid/upper-level shortwave trough currently near the
    upper TX coast. This could result in some rejuvenation of the QLCS
    near the FL coastal bend into the northwest peninsula, with a
    continued threat of a brief tornado or two and locally damaging
    wind.=20

    The need for a new watch this morning remains uncertain, due to the
    anticipated short-term weakening trend, but watch issuance will be
    possible by early afternoon into parts of the northern FL Panhandle,
    depending on short-term convective and destabilization trends.
