Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 9 Administrators Share Posted January 9 MD 0025 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 3... FOR FROM FAR SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE Mesoscale Discussion 0025 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0244 AM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...from far southeast Louisiana into southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle Concerning...Tornado Watch 3... Valid 090844Z - 091045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3 continues. SUMMARY...The greatest tornado risk remains within the warm sector, currently from far southeast Louisiana into southwest Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle. DISCUSSION...A prominent cold front and squall line continue to move rapidly east across far southern MS and southeast LA, and this should move offshore before 10Z. East of the cold front, strong southerly winds continue to aid airmass recovery from the MS Coast into southwest AL and the western FL Panhandle, with dewpoints over 67 F common. This is contributing to over 1000 J/kg MLCAPE. Meanwhile, area VWPs show extreme low-level shear, with 0-1 km SRH of 300-500 m/s, the strongest values being along the warm front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some supercells, continue to develop and move north over the northern Gulf of Mexico and into the western FL Panhandle and southern AL. This region is near the warm front, and the influx of higher surface theta-e air values may support an increasing tornado risk over the next several hours. The very strong shear could yet yield a strong tornado. ..Jewell.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...TAE...MOB...LIX...
