FOR PORTIONS OF THE FL PANHANDLE INTO NORTH FL AND SOUTH-CENTRAL GA Mesoscale Discussion 0028 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0905 AM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...Portions of the FL Panhandle into north FL and south-central GA Concerning...Tornado Watch 4... Valid 091505Z - 091630Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 4 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for embedded QLCS tornadoes and damaging winds will continue this morning. DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms, with occasional embedded supercell structures, is ongoing this morning across parts of the FL Panhandle into south/central GA. Multiple CC minima/tornadic circulations have been observed with this line over the past several hours. Modifying the 12Z TLH sounding for current surface observations yields only weak MLCAPE. Still, rapid low-level moisture advection is occurring ahead of the line, and even modest daytime heating should allow for weak destabilization downstream. Current expectations are for the tornado threat to continue eastward across south-central GA and north FL, as area VWPs show extremely strong low-level flow (1 km southerly winds in excess of 70 kt from KTLH) and 0-1 km SRH approaching 600 m2/s2 that will easily support embedded QLCS circulations. Straight-line severe/damaging winds around 60-75 mph will also remain a threat with the line given the strength of the low-level flow. ..Gleason.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
