   Areas affected...Portions of the FL Panhandle into southwestern GA

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 719...

   Valid 101328Z - 101430Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 719 continues.

   SUMMARY...Some threat for a brief tornado or two and damaging winds
   may persist for a couple more hours this morning.

   DISCUSSION...A band of convection has recently consolidated across
   parts of the FL Panhandle and southwestern GA. A narrow corridor of
   modest destabilization exists downstream of this activity, where up
   to 500 J/kg of MLCAPE is present per recent mesoanalysis and the 12Z
   observed sounding from TLH. Recent VWPs from KTLH show somewhat
   modest low-level winds gradually veering and strengthening with
   height though mid/upper levels. Strong deep-layer shear around 40 kt
   will continue to foster convective organization in the short term,
   while 100-200 m2/s2 of effective SRH supports mesovorticies embedded
   within the QLCS. A brief tornado or two along with damaging winds
   will remain possible for a couple more hours this morning.
   Accordingly, in coordination with WFO TAE, Tornado Watch 719 has
   been expanded eastward to include more of the FL Panhandle and
   southwestern GA, and extended in time until 16Z. The eastern extent
   of severe risk will likely remain constrained by more limited
   moisture and instability across north FL into south-central GA.
