    Mesoscale Discussion 2257

    Areas affected...Southeast Alabama and parts of the Florida
    Panhandle into southern Georgia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 102345Z - 110145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Weak, shallow convection is expected to overspread
    southeast Alabama into southern Georgia through the late evening
    hours. This activity may pose a low-end tornado threat, but watch
    issuance is currently not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past hour or so, shallow convection has been
    developing across southeast AL and the FL Panhandle along two
    low-level confluence axes ahead of the primary precipitation shield
    and attendant surface cold front. Some of the deeper (albeit still
    shallow, 20-25 kft echo tops) convection has exhibited signs of
    low-level rotation over the past 30 minutes. Despite very modest
    buoyancy (around 250-500 J/kg MLCAPE), 150-200 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH
    sampled by regional VPWs should support some degree of low-level
    storm organization, including the potential for modest mesocyclones
    and perhaps a brief tornado.=20=20

    The limited thermodynamic environment will modulate the overall
    severe threat, as evidenced by sparse lightning flashes attendant to
    this convection, which implies generally weak/shallow updrafts.
    Because of this, watch issuance is not anticipated. However,
    additional rotating shallow convection is possible through the late
    evening hours as this activity spreads east/northeast into southern
    GA in tandem with an adequately warm/moist low-level air mass.
