    Concerning...Tornado Watch 713...

    Valid 020921Z - 021115Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 713 continues.

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm activity will continue across the
    region into and beyond daybreak. While the risk for severe weather
    may not be completely negligible, it appears low enough that a new
    severe weather watch will not be needed, at least in the near term.

    DISCUSSION...Downstream of mid-level troughing still progressing
    across the southern Rockies, and on the northern periphery of
    mid-level subtropical ridging centered over the Caribbean, scattered thunderstorm activity continues to slowly develop east-northeastward
    near and across coastal areas from southern Louisiana into the
    western Florida Panhandle. This appears supported by forcing for
    ascent driven by lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection, beneath
    broadly difluent upper flow, with convection generally rooted above near-surface lapse rates ranging from stable to perhaps approaching
    moist adiabatic.=20=20

    Modest mid-level lapse rates may be allowing for most unstable CAPE
    ranging from 500-1000 J/kg, in the presence of wind fields/shear
    potentially supportive of supercells. However, with little change
    in the near-surface thermodynamic profiles forecast through at least mid-morning, an appreciable increase in severe thunderstorm
    potential across and inland of coastal areas appears unlikely
    anytime soon.
