..Gleason.. 01/13/2024

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0957 AM CST Sat Jan 13 2024/

...Synopsis...
A strong surface cyclone over the Great Lakes will continue to lift
to the northeast into eastern Canada over the next 24 hours. A
trailing cold front draped across the western Atlantic into the
southern Florida Peninsula will gradually shift east/southeast
through the day. Thunderstorm potential will be focused along and
behind this front for today and tonight. 

...Southern Florida...
A narrow band of convection has been ongoing along the cold front
this morning as it migrates south. While a few deeper cells have
been observed from regional radars, these stronger pulses have been
relatively short-lived. Despite 40-50 knot mid-level flow, a
combination of poor lapse rates near 700-600 mb and decreasing
forcing for ascent have limited storm longevity/intensity thus far
and should continue to be detrimental to severe potential through
the remainder of the afternoon. A second round of isolated
showers/weak thunderstorms is anticipated late tonight into early
Sunday morning as weak ascent ahead of an approaching mid-level
disturbance overspreads meager (500 J/kg MUCAPE or less)
post-frontal buoyancy rooted above the frontal inversion.
