   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 68 CONTINUES.
   
   SQUALL LINE IS PROGRESSING STEADILY EWD ACROSS THE FL PANHANDLE AND
   NRN GULF OF MEXICO INTO INCREASINGLY HOSTILE THERMODYNAMIC
   ENVIRONMENT...MLCAPE LESS THAN 500 J/KG.  AS PRIMARY LLJ LIFTS NEWD
   INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC IT APPEARS SECONDARY MORE SUBTLE FORCING
   WILL SHIFT INTO THE NRN GULF OF MEXICO WHERE A WEAKER LOWER LEVEL
   JETLET WILL LIKELY AID ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FROM SERN
   LA DELTA REGION INTO BACK SIDE OF E-W ORIENTED CONVECTIVE LINE. 
   DOWNSTREAM...LEADING EDGE OF WELL DEFINED BOW MAY CLIP GULF COUNTY
   FL BUT GENERAL TRENDS FAVOR STRONGER UPDRAFTS REMAINING OVER THE NRN
   GULF.
