NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1153 AM CDT MON AUG 24 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE
INTO THE LOWER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 241653Z - 241930Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ISOLATED OCCURRENCES OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE
WITH THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. A
WATCH IS UNLIKELY DUE TO THE EXPECTED LIMITED COVERAGE OF THE
THREAT.
DISCUSSION...VISIBLE SATELLITE AND LIGHTNING DATA INDICATE A
GRADUALLY DEEPENING CUMULUS FIELD AND INCIPIENT THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE
REGION AND ALONG EVOLVING SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES. THE 12Z OBSERVED
SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE REGION SAMPLED A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER,
CONTRIBUTING TO A STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS FOR ELEVATED PARCELS.
SINCE THOSE OBSERVATIONS, SURFACE TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE
LOWER 90S WITH STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND MLCAPE OF
2000-3000 J/KG.
GENERALLY WEAK VERTICAL SHEAR AND THE ABSENCE OF APPRECIABLE
LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT ARE EXPECTED TO LIMIT THE POTENTIAL
FOR AN ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX TO EVOLVE. HOWEVER, THE DEGREE
OF INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT VIGOROUS PULSE STORMS CAPABLE OF LOCALLY
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON.
