| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level shortwave and associated surface cold front moved through the area during the afternoon and evening hours of January 21st. The air mass ahead of the front was unstable and characterized by surface dewpoints in the low to mid 60s with surface based CAPE values of 1000-2000 j/kg. Mid level lapse rates were also relatively steep with values between 6.5 and 7.0 C/km as seen through the 00z January 22nd KTAE sounding. Effective shear was also analyzed at greater than 40 knots across a large portion of southwest Georgia and southeast Alabama. These factors combined to produce several severe thunderstorms across the area. The Storm Prediction Center placed parts of southwest Georgia and southeast Alabama under a tornado watch from 1230 pm EST until 8 pm EST. Although no tornadoes occurred across the WFO Tallahassee county warning area, several storms did produce large hail, and a few trees were also blown down from straight line winds. |
