    Areas affected...Far southeast Alabama...extreme southwest Georgia...western/central Florida Panhandle

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 7...8...

    Valid 032122Z - 032315Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 7, 8 continues.

    SUMMARY...The potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and a
    tornado or two is increasing ahead of newly developed convection in
    the far western Florida Panhandle. The severe threat will then
    decrease behind the main line of convection.

    DISCUSSION...The primary band of convection, located from Russell to
    Mobile Counties in AL, is currently progressing east-southeast
    across southern portions of Tornado Watches 007 and 008, preceded by
    a newly developed line of storms, located across Convington County
    AL, to Escambia County FL. These storms are currently progressing
    across an air mass characterized by rich low-level moisture and
    modest low- to mid-level lapse rates (per 21Z RAP forecast
    soundings), yielding MLCAPE over 1000 J/kg.

    21Z TLH VAD profiler soundings also indicate up to 300 m2/s2 0-3km
    SRH, with over 100 m2/s2 SRH in the 0-1km layer, suggesting at least
    some potential for convective cells embedded in either of the
    aforementioned lines to rotate. Still, surface flow has been veering
    with time given the eastward translation of the surface low, and
    this will likely limit tornado potential somewhat. As such, precipitation-loaded downdrafts inducing damaging wind gusts will
    likely be the main threat associated with this convection, though a
    tornado or two cannot be ruled out over the next few hours. As both
    convective lines pass, the severe threat will diminish across the
    area.
