MD 2320 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 725… FOR PARTS OF NORTH FL
Mesoscale Discussion 2320 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1047 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2024 Areas affected...Parts of north FL Concerning...Tornado Watch 725... Valid 291647Z - 291815Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 725 continues. SUMMARY...Some threat for locally damaging gusts and a brief tornado may persist into early afternoon. DISCUSSION...The southern portion of a long-lived QLCS is moving through north FL late this morning. While this portion of the QLCS has not been very intense, modest downstream diurnal heating/destabilization (with MLCAPE near/above 500 J/kg) could result in some uptick in convective intensity into early afternoon. The primary midlevel shortwave trough is lifting away from the region this afternoon, but low-level and deep-layer shear will remain somewhat favorable for organized convection, and locally damaging gusts remain possible if a more-organized cold pool can develop. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out, especially near the intersection of southward-moving outflow and the more north-south oriented portion of the line across northeast FL. ..Dean.. 12/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
