DISCUSSION...Surface observations across the area indicate a warm front/theta-e gradient extending from central portions of the FL Panhandle east/southeastward near the coast. While many stations over land are reporting dewpoints near 70 F, a few coastal locations show the very moist tropical air mass over the Gulf of Mexico is very close to spreading inland. Indeed, multiple buoys confirm dewpoints in the lower 80s F over the northeast Gulf of Mexico, which results in very strong instability. Weak warm advection and minimal CIN are aiding storm formation currently, due to mean boundary-layer winds out of the southwest across the theta-e gradient. Although winds around 850 mb may veer with time, 0-1 km SRH is currently averaging near 150 m2/s2 over land, and periodic mesocyclones have been observed on radar. Trends will continue to be monitored for a possible increase in storm coverage. ...Jewell/Edwards.. 06/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!92Z1iH6kormsRjJfrtT4ulO7J1lcVxEJxyF3vS8ALZBZ1X7Y2Vh0gv0YkXVTWN0n67ROgw-R6= 1VZ-DK7S45TRLEGxFs$ for graphic product...
