MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0232
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0519 AM CST TUE FEB 26 2013
   
   AREAS AFFECTED...NRN FL INTO SERN GA
   
   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 45...
   
   VALID 261119Z - 261315Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 45 CONTINUES.
   
   SUMMARY...A THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES CONTINUES ACROSS
   WW 45...AND MAY INCREASE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NRN FL..W CNTRL
   FL...AND FAR SERN GA LATER THIS MORNING. A NEW WW IS LIKELY.
   
   DISCUSSION...A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS WITH A FEW SUPERCELLS CONTINUES
   TO MOVE RAPIDLY EWD ACROSS THE ERN FL PANHANDLE AND EXTENDS SWD INTO
   THE ERN GULF OF MEXICO. SHEAR PROFILES REMAIN VERY STRONG AREA-WIDE
   AND SHOULD FAVOR THE CONTINUANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.
   
   THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ARE MIXED. CURRENTLY...THE AIR OVER NRN
   INLAND FL AND SERN GA IS RELATIVELY STABLE WITH EFFECTIVE INFLOW
   ABOVE THE SURFACE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THE WARMER AIR
   OVER CNTRL FL AS WELL AS OVER THE WATER IS BUOYANT ENOUGH FOR
   SURFACE BASED PARCELS AND THUS A THREAT OF TORNADOES WITH
   TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 70S F. 
   
   AS STORMS CONTINUE EWD...GRADUAL WARMING THROUGH ADVECTION MAY
   EVENTUALLY DESTABILIZE NRN AREAS SUFFICIENTLY FOR A SEVERE THREAT.
   HIGHER THETA-E AIR ALSO EXISTS JUST OFF THE GA COAST...AND ALSO HAS
   THE POTENTIAL TO ENHANCE SEVERE ALONG THE GA/NRN FL COAST.
