MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2013
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0551 AM CDT MON OCT 01 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN AL...SWRN GA...FL PANHANDLE

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 011051Z - 011245Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A MARGINAL SITUATION FOR BRIEF WEAK TORNADOES EXISTS BUT
THE NEED FOR A WATCH IS UNCLEAR.

DISCUSSION...SURFACE ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO SHOW A GRADUAL INCREASE
IN LOW LEVEL THETA-E FROM THE WRN FL PANHANDLE INTO ERN AL NWD TO A
DIFFUSE WARM FRONT FROM NERN AL INTO NWRN GA. INSTABILITY REMAINS
WEAK WITH LITTLE LIGHTNING ACTIVITY...BUT DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S
ARE HELPING TO MAXIMIZE LOW LEVEL BUOYANCY.

VWPS INDICATE SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW ROTATION STORMS. RECENT
RADAR TRENDS HAVE SHOWN BRIEF AREAS OF WEAK ROTATION AT TIMES...BUT
OBSERVED VELOCITIES HAVE NOT BEEN MUCH STRONGER THAN THE AMBIENT
FLOW JUST OFF THE SURFACE.

LITTLE OVERALL CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED THROUGH MORNING
AS THE SYSTEM PROGRESSES SLOWLY EWD. SMALL AMOUNTS OF HEATING FROM
SWRN GA INTO NRN FL WHICH MAY AID STORMS LATER THIS MORNING.
