   Areas affected...from far southeast Louisiana into southern Alabama
   and the Florida Panhandle

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 3...

   Valid 090844Z - 091045Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3 continues.

   SUMMARY...The greatest tornado risk remains within the warm sector,
   currently from far southeast Louisiana into southwest Alabama and
   the western Florida Panhandle.

   DISCUSSION...A prominent cold front and squall line continue to move
   rapidly east across far southern MS and southeast LA, and this
   should move offshore before 10Z. East of the cold front, strong
   southerly winds continue to aid airmass recovery from the MS Coast
   into southwest AL and the western FL Panhandle, with dewpoints over
   67 F common. This is contributing to over 1000 J/kg MLCAPE.
   Meanwhile, area VWPs show extreme low-level shear, with 0-1 km SRH
   of 300-500 m/s, the strongest values being along the warm front.

   Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some supercells, continue to
   develop and move north over the northern Gulf of Mexico and into the
   western FL Panhandle and southern AL. This region is near the warm
   front, and the influx of higher surface theta-e air values may
   support an increasing tornado risk over the next several hours. The
   very strong shear could yet yield a strong tornado.
