A few tornadoes and scattered damaging winds are possible through early evening across parts of the Southeast States. ...Southeast... An extensive swath of stratiform rain is ongoing across parts of GA/SC to the northeast of deeper convection that extends towards the central Gulf Coast. This ongoing activity will play a pivotal role in the overall severe threat in terms of both magnitude and timing. Latest guidance has generally trended towards more probable deep convection evolving east from the central Gulf Coast vicinity across parts of north FL and south GA during the morning to afternoon. This should occur as greater diurnal surface heating ensues ahead of it over the FL Peninsula. Low-level hodographs will be enlarged early with a gradual weakening trend into the afternoon as flow becomes veered and wanes. As such, a relative peak in the tornado/wind threat may occur during the late morning to early afternoon. Farther north into the Carolinas, the severe threat appears conditional on sufficient destabilization in the wake of the extensive rain swath shifting east-northeast through this morning. Guidance is insistent that at least weak surface-based instability should develop by afternoon. But with the likelihood of deep convection persisting in south GA/north FL, and recent observational trends, MLCAPE should tend to be rather limited. Still, with appreciable mid-level height falls and strong low to deep-layer shear, the conditional setup could favor a few low-topped supercells in the afternoon with a tornado/localized wind threat. ..Grams/Thornton.. 03/09/2024 Read more View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
