\nGOES-12 10.7\u00c2\u00b5m InfraRed (IR) imagery (above; Java animation<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> shows the development of multiple lines of convection that produced numerous reports of damaging winds and tornadoes across northern and central Florida during the pre-dawn hours\u00c2\u00a0 on 02 February 2007<\/strong><\/a>. The counties where damaging winds and\/or tornadoes were reported are highlighted in blue around the times of the SPC storm reports<\/strong><\/a>. At least 3 of these tornadoes have been rated as producing EF-3 damage<\/strong><\/a>, and 20 deaths have been reported so far as a result of these storms. While fairly cold IR cloud top temperatures were noted at times (-60\u00c2\u00ba to -66\u00c2\u00ba C, red to dark red enhancement),<\/em> there were no “enhanced-V” or other typical severe storm IR signatures associated with this convection.<\/p>\n

\nThese supercells formed within an environment of high vertical wind shear<\/strong><\/a>, which enabled the thunderstorm updrafts to develop strong rotation; in addition, a strong upper tropospheric jet stream<\/strong><\/a> was located over the southeastern US, producing high wind speeds aloft and supporting large-scale lift over Florida. The lines of severe convection were forming within a zone of pre-frontal lower-tropospheric convergence<\/strong><\/a>; while it was too cloudy to sample the immediate pre-convective environment, GOES-12 sounder derived product imagery (DPI) at 00 UTC<\/a><\/strong> and at 12:00 UTC<\/strong> (below)<\/strong><\/em> did show that the air mass ahead of the approaching frontal boundary was relatively moist (PW values of 40-50 mm)<\/em> with modest winter-season instability (LI values of 0\u00c2\u00ba to -6\u00c2\u00ba C, CAPE values of 0 to 1000 J\/kg).<\/em>
