    Mesoscale Discussion 2048
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0150 PM CST Sat Dec 18 2021

    Areas affected...Portions of southern AL...the western FL
    Panhandle...and far southwestern GA

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

    Valid 181950Z - 182215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated threat for strong/damaging winds and perhaps a
    brief tornado may continue through the rest of the afternoon. Watch
    issuance is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has gradually increased in coverage this
    afternoon in a modest low-level warm advection regime across parts
    of the central Gulf Coast states. Filtered diurnal heating and a
    moist low-level airmass are contributing to around 1000-1500 J/kg of
    MLCAPE, although mid-level lapse rates remain relatively poor. The
    VWP from KMOB shows low-level flow has veered to southwesterly, with
    a nearly unidirectional wind profile through mid levels. Still,
    there is slightly better veering/strengthening of the boundary-layer
    winds with height per recent VWPs from KEVX/KEOX. Around 100 m2/s2
    of 0-1 km SRH and 30-35 kt of effective bulk shear are supporting
    modest storm organization. A low-topped storm in Coffee County AL
    has recently displayed some signs of low-level rotation. Additional
    convection across southern AL and the western FL Panhandle appears
    less organized at the moment. But, there may be some potential for
    isolated strong to damaging winds with the more robust updrafts as
    storms spread east-northeastward through the rest of the afternoon.
    A brief tornado may also occur given the marginally favorable
    low-level shear. However, the already modest low-level winds are
    expected to further weaken/veer over the next few hours. This
    suggests that the overall severe threat will likely remain
    isolated/marginal, and watch issuance is not expected at this time.
