DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1120 AM CDT SUN OCT 09 2011
VALID 091630Z - 101200Z
...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...
...DEEP S TX TO ALONG THE MIDDLE TX COAST...
12Z SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT INFLOW AIR MASS TO ONGOING STORMS IS
QUITE MOIST WITH PW VALUES OF 1.8-1.9 INCHES. DAYTIME HEATING
COUPLED WITH THE MOIST ENVIRONMENT WILL YIELD MODERATE INSTABILITY
BY AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPE OF 1500-2500 J/KG. WHILE DEEP-LAYER WIND
FIELD WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY AS MIDLEVEL TROUGH
LIFTS NEWD AWAY FROM THE REGION...THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND HIGH
MOISTURE CONTENT WILL SUPPORT LOCALLY DAMAGING WET MICROBURSTS WITH
STRONGER/LONGER-LIVED STORM CLUSTERS.
OVER THE MIDDLE TX COAST...CURRENT VAD DATA FROM HOUSTON INDICATE A
VERTICALLY VEERING WIND PROFILE WITH 0-1 KM SRH OF AROUND 150 M2/S2.
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS WEAK...BUT GIVEN THE COMBINATION OF A
MOIST/LOW-LCL BOUNDARY LAYER...MODEST LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND POTENTIAL
FOR OUTFLOW BOUNDARY-SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS...A LOW RISK FOR A
BRIEF TORNADO WILL EXIST.
...CNTRL/SRN FL PENINSULA...
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A COUPLE OF CYCLONIC CIRCULATIONS...
ONE JUST N OF GRAND BAHAMA AND THE OTHER ASSOCIATED WITH A
DEEPER-LAYER CIRCULATION WSW OF APF. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
THAT THE FORMER WILL DEVELOP WWD...EVENTUALLY MERGING WITH THE
LATTER THIS FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WILL RESULT IN A CORRIDOR OF
ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE E-CNTRL PENINSULA THIS
AFTERNOON WHERE A MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL ALIGN WITH A CHANNEL
OF STRONGER LOW-LEVEL FLOW. AS SUCH...A SMALL RISK FOR LOCALLY
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS A BRIEF TORNADO WILL EXIST WITH ANY
STORMS THAT DEVELOP.
