   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 58
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   805 PM EDT Fri Mar 22 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Southern Florida
     Coastal Waters

   * Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 805 PM
     until 300 AM EDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A couple tornadoes possible
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

   SUMMARY...A linear cluster of storms, along with some line-preceding
   supercells, will initially approach the Florida Keys, and eventually
   the far southern Florida Peninsula later this evening. Within a
   favorably moist environment amid strong deep-layer winds, these
   storms will pose a waterspout/tornado risk aside from wind damage.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 70 miles west of Key West FL to 70
   miles east southeast of Miami FL. For a complete depiction of the
   watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.

   &&

   AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
   surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
   gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean
   storm motion vector 27035.
