WW 8 TORNADO FL CW 100010Z - 100400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 8 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 710 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Central and south Florida Coastal Waters * Effective this Tuesday evening from 710 PM until 1100 PM EST. * Primary threats include... A couple tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...A squall line will persist for a few more hours while moving southeastward from central into south Florida. The storm environment will remain favorable for isolated damaging winds and possibly a couple of tornadoes with embedded circulations. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles east southeast of Naples FL to 100 miles northeast of Fort Myers FL. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 6...WW 7... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 0.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 25040. ...Thompson Read more

MD 0041 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 7... FOR MIDDLE ATLANTIC
Mesoscale Discussion 0041 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0625 PM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...Middle Atlantic Concerning...Tornado Watch 7... Valid 100025Z - 100200Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 7 continues. SUMMARY...Gusty winds, along with the threat for brief tornadoes, are expected with convection this evening. DISCUSSION...Strong, large-scale forcing is spreading across the middle Atlantic early this evening ahead of an approaching trough. An expansive corridor of pre-frontal convection has developed in response to this forcing, currently extending from southeast VA, south across the eastern Carolinas. Surface dew points will struggle to rise above 63-65F across the warm sector which is limiting instability within a poor lapse rate environment. Latest diagnostic data suggests the only meaningful buoyancy is located across southeast NC where MLCAPE is on the order of 500 J/kg; although, offshore buoyancy is likely considerably higher (in excess of 1000 J/kg). Radar data supports this with strong, long-lived rotating updrafts noted about 50 mi offshore. These supercells are advancing northeast, but have weakened a bit as they spread inland where buoyancy is weaker. Even so, strong shear is expected to maintain these updrafts as they track across the eastern portions of NC this evening. Damaging gusts can be expected with the organized convection and some risk for brief tornadoes continue, especially with the supercells near the higher buoyancy. ..Darrow.. 01/10/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0039 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 6... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA
Mesoscale Discussion 0039 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0548 PM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...portions of central and southern Florida Concerning...Tornado Watch 6... Valid 092348Z - 100115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 6 continues. SUMMARY...Ongoing QLCS will likely persist into this evening. Strong wind profiles will support continued storm organization with a risk for damaging gusts and isolated tornadoes. Local extension of WW6 or a new small watch may be needed farther south. DISCUSSION...As of 2345, the environment ahead of the ongoing QLCS over central Florida remains moderately unstable and strongly sheared. This should continue to support organized storms over south-central Florida into this evening. A few stronger elements have been noted within the broader QLCS with the potential for damaging gusts owing to the strong background wind fields. 0-1km srh of 300-400 m2/s2 from area VADS also suggest isolated tornadoes will remain possible with the more organized parts of the QLCS. Farther south, large-scale ascent will gradually weaken as the upper trough lifts away to the north through the evening resulting in more veered surface flow. However, relatively strong shear will likely remain in place into parts of South Florida. At least some severe risk may persist for a few hours tonight. A local extension of WW6 or a new small weather watch may be needed to cover the remainder of the severe risk before storms begin to weaken and move offshore overnight. ..Lyons/Thompson.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

A line of convection extends across eastern VA/NC and arcing south/southeast toward the central Florida peninsula as of 0030z.

A risk for a couple of tornadoes in addition to strong/damaging gusts will continue for a few more hours this evening before the overall threat diminishes as convection moves offshore overnight. ..Leitman.. 01/10/2024 Read more
