1159 AM CDT Mon Apr 03 2023
Areas affected...far southwest GA into northern FL
Concerning...Tornado Watch 113...
Valid 031659Z - 031800Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 113 continues.
SUMMARY...The threat for damaging gusts and a tornado may be locally
increasing across far southwest GA into northern portions of the FL
Panhandle over the next 1-2 hours.
DISCUSSION...A bowing area of convection traveling along a surface
warm front has shown an increase in organization over the past 30-60
minutes. This area of storms has shown increasing measured wind
gusts around 40 kt as well as a brief spin-up tornado. This area of
convection is expected to continue southeast along an axis of
greater instability where surface dewpoints have increased to the
upper 60s to near 70 F along/south of the warm front. Additionally,
low-level shear will remain favorable for a spin-up or two with the
apex of this bowing segment. A corridor of locally enhanced severe
potential appears possible over the next 1-2 hours.
