    Mesoscale Discussion 1971
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1234 PM CST Wed Dec 08 2021

    Areas affected...Parts of southern Georgia...northern Florida

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

    Valid 081834Z - 082100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe thunderstorm development is
    possible by 3-5 PM EST, which could pose some risk for potentially
    damaging wind gusts and/or a brief, weak tornado.

    DISCUSSION...As a cold front slowly advances southward toward
    northern Florida and adjacent portions of southeastern Georgia, a
    narrow pre-frontal corridor of low-level moistening appears to have
    developed weak to modest (500-1000 J/kg) CAPE with insolation. This
    has contributed to scattered mostly slowly deepening convection, but
    a couple of weak thunderstorms have occasionally formed.

    As a vigorous wave within stronger mid-latitude westerlies to the
    north rapidly pivots from the Ohio Valley toward the Mid Atlantic
    coast late this afternoon, a more subtle trailing perturbation,
    within weaker cyclonic flow to the south, is digging across the the
    eastern Gulf Coast states. It is possible that associated forcing
    for ascent may contribute to some enhancement of largely discrete
    thunderstorm development across parts of northern Florida into
    adjacent southeastern Georgia by 20-22Z.=20

    Although deep-layer mean wind fields and shear across this region
    are expected to remain modest relative to the degree of instability, southwesterly to westerly flow in the 850-500 mb layer, on the order
    of 30-50 kt, might still be sufficient to support the evolution of a
    few supercell structures. Although these may be mostly transient in
    nature, an isolated longer-lived structure appears possible, which
    could pose the risk for locally strong surface gusts and/or perhaps
    a brief, weak tornado.
