Areas affected...eastern FL Panhandle...far southern GA
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20
Valid 171659Z - 171900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...A few thunderstorms will probably be capable of 45-55 mph
gusts. Pockets of wind damage will likely result from the stronger
wet microbursts.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite/radar mosaic imagery show a
developing cluster of thunderstorms along a sea-breeze front over
the FL Panhandle. To the east of this developing thunderstorm
cluster, mostly sunny skies will continue to promote strong heating
through the early afternoon and yield steepening low-level lapse
rates. K2J9 (Quincy Municipal Airport, FL) observed a 35-kt gust
with a thunderstorm at 1635 UTC.=20=20
The 12 UTC Tallahassee raob showed greater buoyancy compared to the Jacksonville raob (1100 vs. 400 J/kg MLCAPE). Given this observed
gradient in buoyancy with a similar observed PW value (1.5 inches),
expecting more vigorous thunderstorm development over the eastern FL
Panhandle through the early afternoon with weaker storms farther
east over North FL. The stronger water-loaded downdrafts will
probably be capable of at least strong and perhaps locally damaging
gusts (45-55 mph). Pockets of wind damage are the primary hazard
with this activity. Weak westerly tropospheric flow (per KTLH VAD
data) will favor slow eastward storm motions and a general motion
eastward of the evolving thunderstorm cluster.
