   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234...

   Valid 131151Z - 131345Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Wind damage, hail and an isolated tornado threat will be
   possible this morning from far southern Mississippi into southern
   Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle.

   DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Mobile, AL
   shows a cluster of thunderstorms over southern Mississippi and
   southern Alabama, with a couple embedded strong storms. This
   convection is located along a northwest-to-southeast gradient of
   instability, and appears to be elevated in nature. However, forecast
   soundings across the western Florida Panhandle have MUCAPE around
   1000 J/kg, with effective shear near 60 knots and 0-3 storm-relative
   helicity just above 200 m2/s2. This should support a wind-damage
   threat, and perhaps a potential for a brief tornado, if the cells
   can become more surface-based. The threat would be the greatest with
   cells that can move more southeastward into the stronger instability
   near the coast.
