Unusual tornado threat for Florida

This portion of the 5 p.m. forecast discussion for my area (Wesley Chapel, FL/Pasco County) raised my eyebrows. I've lived in FL on an off for the past 11 years, and I have never quite seen a discussion of a tornado threat quite like this one, even associated with tropical systems such as 91L. I lived in Dallas for nearly 4 years from 2009-2012, and that is where I saw this kind of language each spring. But Florida? Note the allusion to a "tornado event." Again, that's like something out of a DFW-area discussion, not Pasco County, FL . . .
THERE REMAINS CONCERN FOR TORNADOES IN WEST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA...MAINLY ON THURSDAY. THE CONCERN IS DUE TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF A LOW LEVEL JET ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM...LCL HEIGHTS BETWEEN 500-700 FT...AND HIGH AMOUNTS
OF AVAILABLE SHEAR. THE POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH SHEAR/LOW CAPE
TORNADO EVENT REMAINS AND WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS THE SYSTEM
NEARS THE AREA. |
