Day 1 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0637 PM CST Sat Dec 16 2023

Valid 170100Z - 171200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA AND KEYS...

...SUMMARY...
The threat for a few damaging gusts and tornadoes will increase
tonight into Sunday morning across the Florida Peninsula and Keys.

...01z Update...

Eastern Gulf Basin short-wave trough is ejecting northeast toward
the FL Peninsula this evening. Surface low associated with this
short wave will approach the FL Gulf Coast after 06z, then advance
off the Atlantic Coast near Jacksonville by sunrise. 00z soundings
over the southeastern US have yet to destabilize materially, but
weak buoyancy is noted at MFL where SBCAPE is on the order of 500
J/kg. However, strong shear is in place and a marked increase in the
LLJ is expected later this evening with 850mb flow likely to exceed
60-80kt by the end of the period.

Latest lightning data suggests the strongest/deepest convection is
immediately ahead of the short wave/surface low, at least 100mi west
of the Peninsula. With time, buoyancy should increase such that
deeper updrafts/lightning will develop with convection over land.
Severe probabilities remain unchanged from 20z, and damaging gusts
and tornadoes remain possible, especially after midnight.
