Areas affected...Portions of South Florida

Concerning...Tornado Watch 690...

Valid 091635Z - 091800Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 690 continues.

SUMMARY...Tornadoes remain possible south of Lake Okeechobee with
developing/deepening updrafts.

DISCUSSION...Temperatures in South Florida have risen into the upper
80s to near 90 F. Several updrafts have began to develop and deepen
south of Lake Okeechobee per local radar ZDR data. Should these
updrafts sufficiently deepen, they will be capable of producing
tornadoes as the low-level flow is only expected to intensify
through the day as Hurricane Milton continues east and its wind
field expands. The greatest potential will be with storms closer to
the eastern coast as cloud cover has been less abundant. Further,
low-level winds are more backed with northward extent which will
increase tornado potential there as well.
