NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0632 AM CST SUN JAN 19 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTH AND WEST-CENTRAL FLORIDA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 191232Z - 191430Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS A BRIEF TORNADO WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON IN PARTS OF NORTH/CENTRAL
FLORIDA. A WATCH IS NOT CURRENTLY EXPECTED.
DISCUSSION...TEMPERATURES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA HAVE SLOWLY RISEN INTO
THE LOW 70S F THIS MORNING. A LINE OF STORMS MOVING EASTWARD SOUTH
AND EAST OF GAINESVILLE HAVE SHOWN SOME INTENSIFICATION AS THEY HAVE
ENCOUNTERED THE MODESTLY UNSTABLE AIR. GIVEN THE WIND FIELDS IN
PLACE, THIS ACTIVITY, THOUGH PERHAPS ONLY WEAKLY SURFACE BASED, WILL
BE ORGANIZED. STRONG/DAMAGING GUSTS MAY OCCUR AS MUTED SURFACE
HEATING CONTINUES INTO THE AFTERNOON. THOUGH SURFACE WINDS ARE
VEERED, AREA VAD PROFILES DO SHOW SUFFICIENT SRH FOR A BRIEF TORNADO
IN THE STRONGEST STORMS. THE OBSERVED 12Z TAMPA SOUNDING SHOWED
RELATIVELY POOR MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THIS, COMBINED WITH MODEST
MLCAPE, SHOULD KEEP THE SEVERE THREAT MARGINAL/ISOLATED.
ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE NOTED OFFSHORE WEST OF THE TAMPA VICINITY.
THESE STORMS SHOULD EVENTUALLY APPROACH THE SHORE AND POSE A SIMILAR
WIND GUST/BRIEF TORNADO THREAT.
