...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE...
...SUMMARY...
Gusty winds may accompany thunderstorms over the Florida Panhandle
Thursday night.
...Florida Panhandle...
Positive-tilt upper trough, currently located over eastern
NM/northern Mexico, is forecast to eject into the central Gulf
States by 03/12z. This evolution will result in low-level
trajectories off the northern Gulf Basin that will only allow
modified Gulf air mass to progress into part of the FL Panhandle
ahead of a cold front. Latest model guidance suggests the wind shift
will sag to a position from south-central GA-western FL Panhandle by
03/06z, with subsequent movement into southeast GA-northern FL
Peninsula by sunrise Friday. Forecast soundings ahead of the front
exhibit weak lapse rates, but adequately moist and buoyant profiles,
for at least a risk for a few robust thunderstorms late in the
period. Deep westerly flow across this region suggests limited
low-level shear, and instability should struggle to advance
appreciably inland. Therefore, the MRGL Risk will be primarily for
the near-coastal areas of the Panhandle. Greatest threat for
convection will be along the front and this should be during the
overnight hours. Locally damaging winds are the primary risk.
