    Mesoscale Discussion 1970
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1249 AM CST Wed Dec 08 2021

    Areas affected...Central portions of the FL Panhandle

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

    Valid 080649Z - 080845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Potential may continue another hour or two for isolated,
    nearly surface-based supercell formation in a band of convection
    extending west-southwest/east-northeast across the discussion area.=20
    In a marginally favorable environment, a brief tornado may occur.=20
    The threat appears too isolated, short-lived and conditional for a
    watch.

    DISCUSSION...At 0630Z an isolated, weakening supercell was noted
    over eastern Walton County, just onto the cool side of a
    quasistationary to weakly warm frontal zone. This activity was in
    the eastern part of a loosely organized band of convection extending west-southwest past Ft. Walton Beach. That boundary was analyzed
    from there west-southwestward toward the mouth of the Mississippi
    River, and extends northeastward into cooler air on both sides over
    southern GA. A baroclinic/marine boundary extends from near the
    convection southeastward across Apalachee Bay, south of which
    optimal maritime/tropical air should remain.

    Both boundaries are expected to drift northward at a slower pace
    than the net poleward motion of convection developing along or to
    their north in the band of greatest lift. As such, the remains of
    the supercell, which produced a brief apparent TDS around 610Z,
    should move obliquely over a more-stable boundary layer with time
    and remain more disorganized, but may be sustained as elevated
    convection atop the shallow near-surface stable layer farther
    east-northeast and inland.

    Additional/trailing development may occur in an environment of weak
    MLCINH and low LCL, though low-level convergence is modest due to
    the weak near-surface winds. The modified 00Z TLH RAOB and forecast
    soundings suggest MLCAPE around 250-500 J/kg along the southward
    side of the boundaries, increasing above 500 J/kg over the Gulf.=20
    Effective SRH from RAP soundings is generally under 100 J/kg, but
    may be locally near 150-175 J/kg where effectively surface-based
    parcels extend inland, based on the Eglin VWP.
