Severe Weather Threat Increasing For Central Florida Today -
Mid morning and already there is a tornado watch active for north-central Florida, and further severe storm or tornado watches are likely moving into the late morning and early afternoon hours across Central Florida. A strong pre-frontal boundary, with a squall line along it continues to drive into Florida from the northwest this morning. Atmospheric conditions continue to improve for the develop of more discrete storms later today ahead of this line over Central and Southern Florida. The Storm Prediction Center is monitoring the area with the latest MCD #2402 to be issued concerning the ongoing Tornado Watch #938 that will likely be extended into more of Central and South Florida by midday.
 
 

 

SPC-DISCUSSION…LINE OF STORMS WITH EMBEDDED BOW ECHOES AND SUPERCEL STRUCTURES WILL CONTINUE EAST THROUGH THE NRN AND CNTRL FL PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERE DOWNSTREAM ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE WITH DIABATIC HEATING AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL DEWPOINTS SUPPORTING MLCAPE FROM 500 TO 1000 J/KG. HODOGRAPHS AND VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS AND BOWING STRUCTURES AHEAD OF EWD ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH SUPPORTED BY STRONG SWLY LOW AND MID LEVEL JETS. ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND AND TORNADOES WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS.

 

Florida Storm Chase Is On – Chase Status Active

Wind shear continues to increase, under full sun, and moisture continues to surge northward from the Florida Keys and Caribbean, and all this is helping to set the stage for strong to severe storms ahead of the line developing in the next few hours and continuing into the evening hours tonight. The better severe storm, and / or rotating storms looks to be from about Orlando southward into deep South Florida today, where better heating and moisture are in place. I’ll be chasing today within this area looking for more discrete storm cells well out ahead of the main pre-frontal trough “squall line” from about south-central Florida into deep southern Florida this afternoon.

Stay tuned for further updates on this late Fall season severe weather setup over Florida.
