50 - 50 may be resonable

Looking at tropopause height, the TUTT over Florida is not all that strong.
A deep TUTT would have a much lower tropopause height.
Convection along and west of the Keys has a cloud-top pressure of 200mb.
Given the large surface convergence, there is a good chance that the convection could increase.
Rolling nicely on MIMIC-TPW.
If so, the TUTT could be blown away.
Saw this scenario with Alex when there was a weak TUTT close to Alex in the GOM.
Once convection flared, the TUTT was blown out of the water.
