...DISCUSSION...
An area-of-interest for at least low probability tornado and
damaging wind potential exists late D4 to early D6 over the eastern
Gulf to South Atlantic States. Confidence remains too low to warrant
a 15 percent severe probability highlight for a specific day and
mesoscale-focused area.

00Z deterministic guidance trends support gradually increasing
agreement over the past several days with pronounced cyclogenesis in
the eastern Gulf to on/off the South Atlantic Coast during D4-6.
Multiple synoptic-scale interactions are apparent. First, phasing of
northern and southern-stream shortwave troughs should continue from
D3 over the central states. Second, a separate convection-induced
shortwave impulse appears likely to be generated over eastern Gulf
within the favorable right-rear quadrant of an intensifying upper
jet in the East. The initial warm-core nature of this leading
impulse suggests poor mid-level lapse rates will require sufficient
surface-based instability coincident with strengthening low-level
wind fields across the FL Peninsula late Saturday into Sunday.

00Z ECMWF ensemble and GEFS members continue to indicate vast spread
in the degree of cyclone amplification, as well as substantial
spatial and temporal variation of cyclone evolution. This renders
low confidence in the timing/location of a conditionally favorable
warm-sector environment outside of central/south FL.
