"textContent": "MD 0088 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF NORTH-CENTRAL FLORIDA\n\n\n\n\n Mesoscale Discussion 0088\n NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n 0734 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2026\n\n Areas affected...Parts of north-central Florida\n\n Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely\n\n Valid 160134Z - 160400Z\n\n Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent\n\n SUMMARY...A localized risk of strong/damaging gusts and perhaps a\n brief tornado will continue for the next few hours across parts of\n north-central Florida.\n\n DISCUSSION...Clusters of mainly disorganized thunderstorms continue\n spreading/developing east-southeastward across north-central FL\n within a zone of low-level confluence and weak positive theta-e\n advection. Weak pre-convective buoyancy may continue to limit\n updraft intensity, though a narrow plume of middle/upper 60s\n dewpoints is contributing to 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE closer to the\n coast. Despite the weak buoyancy, the TBW 00Z sounding and VWP are\n sampling strong low/deep-layer shear -- aided by a 40-50-kt\n southwesterly low-level jet and 60-70-kt midlevel flow. Enhanced\n low-level hodograph curvature (around 350 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH) may\n favor transient circulations embedded within the clusters of storms\n as they continue east-southeastward, and locally damaging gusts\n and/or a brief tornado cannot be entirely ruled out for the next few\n hours. Any severe risk is expected to remain too limited for a\n watch.\n\n ..Weinman/Hart.. 02/16/2026\n\n ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\n ATTN...WFO...MLB...TBW...\n\n LAT...LON 28938133 28808112 28648106 28378112 28098133 27848171\n 27568217 27478249 27508277 27718289 28008295 28358279\n 28928165 28938133\n\n MOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...85-115 MPH\n MOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...55-70 MPH\n\n\n\nRead more",
