MD 0125 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 23... FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA

Mesoscale Discussion 0125
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0721 PM CST Sun Jan 22 2017

Areas affected...Central and southern Florida

Concerning...Tornado Watch 23...

Valid 230121Z - 230315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 23 continues.

SUMMARY...Severe/tornado risk continues across central
Florida/Tornado Watch 23, and will gradually spread/expand southward
across the remainder of the Peninsula and Keys over the next several
hours.  A new Tornado Watch will eventually be needed.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a band of severe storms
extending from Volusia County southwest to the Tampa Bay area, and
more isolated storms ahead of the main band, moving quickly
northeastward.  Several of these storms -- both within the line and
ahead of it -- remain supercellular, which should remain the case
over the next several hours given the favorable kinematic and
thermodynamic environment revealed by this evening's RAOBs.  While
overall risk has diminished somewhat -- such that the next watch
will likely not require PDS wording, potential for tornadoes, along
with damaging wind and hail risk, will likely continue into the
overnight hours.
