   Mesoscale Discussion 1973
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0945 PM CST Thu Dec 09 2021

   Areas affected...southern Alabama into the western Florida
   Panhandle.

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 100345Z - 100445Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...There will be a brief tornado threat across southern
   Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle for the next 1 to 2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Deepening convection has moved in off the Gulf of
   Mexico and is currently merging with the ongoing convective cluster
   across southern Alabama. This merger, in close proximity to the warm
   front, has led to a small area of low-level rotation near Mobile.
   This will likely be very short lived given the messy storm mode and
   marginal thermodynamic environment. However, a similar airmass
   exists into the western Florida Peninsula and therefore, additional
   storm mergers and strengthening cells in close proximity to the warm
   front could lead to other areas of low-level rotation exhibiting a
   brief tornado threat.
