NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0351 PM CDT FRI APR 11 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHERN FLORIDA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 112051Z - 112315Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...SEVERAL STORMS MAY PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND LOCALLY GUSTY
WINDS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...SURFACE TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE UPPER 70S TO
NEAR 80 F THIS AFTERNOON, AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT CONTINUE TO COOL. A
VERY STEEP LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT HAS DEVELOPED WITH 500 MB
TEMPERATURE TO -20 C INTO PARTS OF THE FL PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN FL.
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY FORMED ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH
EXTENDING FROM THE PANHANDLE INTO EXTREME SOUTHEAST GA, WITH
INDICATIONS OF SMALL/NON-SEVERE HAIL. MOISTURE IS THE LIMITING
FACTOR TO STORM SEVERITY TODAY, WITH LOW DEWPOINTS SPREADING
SOUTHWARD. EVEN SO, CONVECTIVE COVERAGE MAY CONTINUE TO INCREASE
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS AS LAPSE RATES ARE MAXIMIZED. ALTHOUGH
LOW PWAT OVERALL, THE DEEPENED BOUNDARY LAYER ALONG WITH LOW
FREEZING LEVELS AND LENGTHY HODOGRAPHS WILL WORK TOGETHER TO PRODUCE
PRIMARILY NON-SEVERE HAIL. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS REMAIN RELATIVELY
WEAK, THEREFORE ANY STRONG TO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING GUST WOULD LIKELY
BE LOCALIZED (BUT POSSIBLY AIDED BY COLD HAIL-LADEN OUTFLOW).
