MD 0416 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 103… FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA…SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
Mesoscale Discussion 0416
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0332 PM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024
Areas affected…southeast Alabama…southwest Georgia and the
Florida Panhandle
Concerning…Tornado Watch 103…
Valid 102032Z – 102200Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 103 continues.
SUMMARY…Damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes remain possible
across Tornado Watch 103. The greatest risk will likely remain
closer to the Gulf Coast and over the Florida Panhandle in the short
term.
DISCUSSION…A line of strong to severe storms will continue to
shift east across the FL Panhandle into far southeast AL and
southwest GA the next few hours. Boundary-layer moisture has
remained modest, with dewpoints currently around 59-62 F across far
southeast AL into southwest GA. Moisture does increase with
southward extent across the FL Panhandle to the coast with mid/upper
60s F dewpoints noted. Limited heating through the afternoon also
has limited low-level lapse rates and greater destabilization with
northward extent. The corridor of greater instability will likely
remain confined to the immediate coast and FL Panhandle vicinity.
Nevertheless, deep shear remain strong and will likely help to
maintain an organized line with eastward extent. Damaging gusts and
a tornado or two remain possible the next couple of hours.
