Areas affected...Portions of central Florida
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 87...
Valid 191720Z - 191845Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Approaching squall line, with preceding semi-discrete
convection, will likely pose some severe risk across parts of
central Florida within the next few hours. Damaging wind gusts are
anticipated to be the main threat, though a brief tornado or two may
occur with the most intense storms. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will
likely be issued downstream.
DISCUSSION...A mature squall line is currently propagating eastward
into central Florida, with semi-discrete cells ongoing from Hardee
to Collier County Florida. These storms are evolving within a
moderately buoyant (i.e. 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE) environment, driven
primarily by 7.5 C/km low-level lapse rates and relatively deep
low-level moisture. Bulk effective shear values of up to 40 knots is
present across the Florida Peninsula, but the bulk shear vectors are
oriented roughly parallel with the line, with a modest low-level
shear environment present.
Portions of the squall line farther north have produced sporatic
wind damage, with the aforementioned semi-discrete convection
producing gusts around 50 knots near Fort Meyers Beach within the
past hour. Current thermodynamic environment, as well as the latest high-resolution model guidance, both suggest that potential exists
for additional damaging wind gusts to occur, with a potential uptick
expected across central FL in the near-term. A tornado or two is
also possible, both with the more organized cells ahead of the
squall line, and along the leading portions of squall line itself.
The best chance for a tornado would be farther north, where
deep-layer ascent and low-level shear is relatively stronger. Still,
overall modest low-level shear suggests that damaging gusts should
be the primary threat. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely be
issued downstream to address the increasing damaging wind threat for
portions of central Florida.
