Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Predic To : All From : Mike Powell Date : Tue Nov 05 2024 09:33:00 ACUS02 KWNS 050559 SWODY2 SPC AC 050558 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1158 PM CST Mon Nov 04 2024 Valid 061200Z - 071200Z ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LOWER FL KEYS... ....SUMMARY... A few brief tornadoes will be possible within outer bands of Tropical Cyclone Rafael, from late morning into the evening Wednesday across the Keys and the far southern Peninsula of Florida. ....Keys/southern Peninsula of FL... Latest NHC forecast has Tropical Storm Rafael intensifying to a hurricane by 12Z Wednesday and moving across western Cuba into the eastern Gulf through early Thursday. Most 00Z guidance has trended farther northeast with the attendant belt of stronger low-level flow relative to 24 hours ago. As such, near-easterly surface winds veering to south-southeasterlies will yield hodograph enlargement. This increase should be favorably timed to the diurnal heating cycle, with peak low-level SRH anticipated during afternoon. Amid increasingly rich mean-mixing ratios of 17-18 g/kg, deeper outer band cells will likely rotate across the FL Straits and progress west-northwest across the Keys and adjacent peninsula. At least a few waterspouts appear probable and these may move across land as tornadoes. Overall threat should diminish Wednesday night as low-level SRH gradually subsides, and deep convection becomes confined to the Gulf. ...Grams.. 11/05/2024 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: ILink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:3/105) .
