Areas affected...Portions of the Florida panhandle and northern
Florida

Concerning...Tornado Watch 236...

Valid 131859Z - 132030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 236 continues.

SUMMARY...The threat of damaging winds near 60 to 70 mph and a
couple of tornadoes will continue across northern Florida through
this afternoon.

DISCUSSION...A bowing line segment over northern Gulf County and and
far southern Calhoun County previously showed signs of mesovortices
trying to develop as it progressed east southeastward. The TLH VAD
profile indicates low level shear upstream of this segment should
continue to support the potential for such vortices. Recent radar
trends, however, suggest the aforementioned feature is struggling to
maintain itself considering upstream moist convection and decreasing
surface based instability. Nonetheless, low level moisture advection
along and south of the stationary boundary will keep LCLs relatively
low. In addition, a few thunderstorms are beginning to develop along
the stationary boundary within the eastern extreme of the watch
where increased insolation is present. A couple of tornadoes remain
possible within this environment, and wind gusts near 60 to 70 mph
may accompany clusters or line segments.
