   Concerning...Tornado Watch 89...

   Valid 101210Z - 101415Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 89 continues.

   SUMMARY...A severe threat may continue for a few more hours across
   the eastern Gulf Coast. A tornado threat, along with the possibility
   of wind damage and hail may occur with the stronger thunderstorms. A
   small watch or local extension may be needed to the east of WW 89.

   DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a linear MCS from
   southern Alabama extending west-southwestward into southern
   Louisiana. A corridor of maximized low-level moisture is located
   just ahead of the line across the western Florida Panhandle. Surface
   dewpoints are in the upper 60s F with MLCAPE estimated by the RAP
   near 1500 J/kg. This combined with 0-6 km shear near 50 kt, evident
   on regional WSR-88D VWPs should support severe thunderstorms for a
   few more hours this morning. Wind damage will be possible along the
   leading edge of the faster-moving bowing line segments. A tornado
   will also be possible with cells that rotate within the ongoing
   quasi-linear convective system. However, instability weakens with
   eastward extent. The line of strong storms will eventually move into
   much weaker instability. For this reason, any severe threat may
   become more isolated with time. A local extension or small watch
   would be sufficient for any lingering severe threat.
