Areas affected...FL Panhandle coast
Concerning...Tornado Watch 677...
Valid 091851Z - 092015Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 677 continues.
SUMMARY...Tornado potential will increase through 21z/5pm ET along
the immediate coast of the central/eastern FL Panhandle.
DISCUSSION...A stronger supercell has been noted offshore from
Franklin County FL over the past 30 minutes. This cell is very near
the surface marine front and has shown signs of stronger low-level
rotation as it ingested strong low-level instability and enhanced
0-1 km SRH near the surface front. This boundary should continue to
lift northward over the next couple hours, allowing for richer
low-level moisture and increased low-level instability impinging on
the immediate coast. The tornado risk will increase as this occurs
as supercells within the outer rainbands of Isaias move onshore.
