    Concerning...Tornado Watch 86...

    Valid 031922Z - 032045Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 86 continues.

    SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat in the short term (next 1-2
    hours) should continue to slowly diminish through the afternoon. Additional/downstream watch issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Low-level flow across the central FL Peninsula has
    gradually veered to southwesterly per recent surface observations
    and VWPs from KTBW/KMLB. This has reduced 0-1 km SRH along/ahead of
    a loosely organized band of thunderstorms extending southwest to
    northeast across the central FL Peninsula. The thermodynamic and
    kinematic environment remains conditionally favorable for severe
    convection across this area, with occasional strong to damaging
    winds and perhaps a brief tornado possible for the next hour or two
    before the stronger convection across the east-central FL Peninsula
    moves offshore. However, boundary-layer flow has become mostly
    parallel to enhanced mid-level southwesterlies, reducing low-level convergence/lift and leading to messy storm mergers/interactions.
    Current expectations are for the already isolated severe threat in
    the short term to slowly diminish through the rest of the afternoon.
    Therefore, additional/downstream watch issuance is not expected
    across the FL Peninsula.
