    Areas affected...South FL

    Valid 121509Z - 121715Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Brief tornadoes and isolated damaging gusts are possible
    across south Florida for the next several hours.

    DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery has revealed low-level rotation
    within some of the shallow, more cellular convection across southern
    FL, particularly near the intersection of Collier, Broward, and
    Miami-Dade counties. These showers and thunderstorms are being
    initiated by warm-air advection, but are quickly becoming surface
    based with the very moist and uncapped airmass across the region.
    Buoyancy is modest (i.e. around 1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE), promoted
    by shallow but vertically deep thermodynamic profiles. This buoyancy
    is more than sufficient for deep updrafts capable of lightning.
    Additionally, the AMX VAD profiles show notable low-level veering,
    with 20 to 25 kt of 0-1 km storm-relative helicity sampled recently.
    There may also be some ambient vertical vorticity within the
    low-level environment, given the presence of storm outflow and
    low-level convergence that is occurring, particularly to the south
    of the main precipitation shield. As result, there is likely a
    mesoscale corridor of greater tornado potential across from Mainland
    Monroe County northeastward into southern Palm Beach County.
    Water-loaded downbursts are also possible across much of south FL.
