Mesoscale Discussion 0038
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0226 PM CST Wed Jan 04 2023
Areas affected...Parts of northeast Florida and far southeast
Georgia
Concerning...Tornado Watch 14...
Valid 042026Z - 042200Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 14 continues.
SUMMARY...Severe risk continues across northeast Florida and far
southeast Georgia. Primary concerns are damaging winds and perhaps a
brief tornado.
DISCUSSION...An intense line of storms across northeast Florida and
southeast Georgia persists this afternoon, moving east-northeast at
around 50 mph. Moist, unstable conditions are present in the
boundary layer ahead of the line, with 0-6 km shear of 50-60 kts
(sampled by the KJAX VWP) oriented oblique to the line. Given the
continued linear/organized mode and deep updrafts keeping pace with
the gust front, damaging winds of up to 60-70 mph and perhaps a
brief tornado are possible. These storms will generally continue
east-northeastward towards the coast over the next couple hours.
