    Areas affected...northern and central Florida

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 104...

    Valid 111433Z - 111630Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 104 continues.

    SUMMARY...A broken band of thunderstorms continues moving eastward
    across northern Florida, where local severe-weather risk continues.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a loosely organized band of
    thunderstorms extending from the southeastern Georgia coast
    southwestward to the eastern Gulf of Mexico west of Tampa. Storms
    have remained largely sub-severe despite very favorable deep-layer
    shear, due to an overall lack of appreciable buoyancy. The 12Z TBW
    RAOB shows a deeply moist airmass, but very weak lapse rates, with
    several warm layers that hint at subdued updraft acceleration,
    confirming the character of convection at this time per radar
    reflectivity.

    With that said, filtered heating through high cirrus ahead of the
    convection has allowed heating to commence, with surface
    temperatures having risen a few degrees over the past 1 to 2 hours.=20 Continued insolation/heating will allow destabilization eventually
    permit more unimpeded updrafts, and a corresponding increase in
    convective intensity/organization, aided by the favorable background
    kinematic environment. As such, local severe risk -- including
    isolated tornado potential -- should gradually increase over the
    next couple of hours.
