MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0948

AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL FL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 190859Z - 191100Z

CLUSTER OF TSTMS MOVING INTO WRN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL FL MAY POSE A
MARGINAL SVR THREAT AS THEY MOVE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF CENTRAL FL.
CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED...BUT A WW IS NOT
ANTICIPATED ATTM.

WV SAT IMAGERY SHOWS AN EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. INCREASING WAA /NOTED BY SFC PRESSURE FALLS/
HAS CONTRIBUTED TO DEVELOPING CONVECTION AHEAD OF THIS SHORTWAVE
OVER THE ERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS ACTIVITY HAS RECENTLY MOVED INLAND
INTO CENTRAL FL /JUST SOUTH OF THE TAMPA BAY AREA/. MODERATE MID
LEVEL WINDS /40 KTS/ PER THE 00Z TPA AND RECENT TPA VWP DATA SUPPORT
RECENT RADAR DATA INDICATING SOME ROTATION WITHIN THIS ACTIVITY AS
IT PROGRESSES ACROSS CENTRAL FL. MODERATE INSTABILITY /MUCAPE AROUND
2000 J/KG/ COMBINED WITH MODEST VERTICAL SHEAR /0-6 KM SHEAR AROUND
50 KTS/ MAY SUPPORT A MARGINAL SVR WIND/HAIL THREAT WITH ANY TSTM
THAT HAS SUSTAINED SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS. ALTHOUGH GENERALLY
WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS SHOULD TEND TO
MINIMIZE THE SVR THREAT.
