Mesoscale Discussion 0040
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0104 PM CST Wed Jan 27 2021
Areas affected...Northern FL into far southeast GA
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 271904Z - 272100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...The threat for locally damaging wind and perhaps a tornado
continues this afternoon. Watch issuance remains unlikely due to the
isolated nature of the threat.
DISCUSSION...At 19Z, the thunderstorm cluster which earlier produced
a tornado in the Tallahassee area is moving eastward along the I-10
corridor in northern FL. This cluster has weakened slightly compared
to 1-2 hours ago, as it has moved into a slightly cooler and less
unstable airmass. However, effective shear of 40-50 kt remains more
than sufficient to support occasional upticks in convective
organization, and this cluster will continue to pose a threat of
isolated damaging wind and perhaps a tornado as it moves eastward
this afternoon and interacts with a surface boundary that is slowly
sagging southward out of far southern GA. Surface observations
indicate that slightly greater warming/destabilization has occurred
across northeast FL, which could support some severe threat to the
coast as the cluster continues eastward. However, given the
localized and generally marginal nature of the threat, watch
issuance remains unlikely.
