   CORRECTED FOR LOCATION

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 135 continues.

   SUMMARY...Based on recent radar and environmental data, a strong to
   potentially intense tornado with potential peak winds of 120 to 165
   mph (EF2-EF3) is likely ongoing.

   DISCUSSION...Recent radar signatures from KPOE as of 0037Z reveal an
   intense supercell characterized by a 0.5 degree rotational velocity
   between 50 and 59 kt. A tornadic debris signature has also been
   noted on recent radar scans. These signatures are occurring in an
   environment characterized by STP greater than 6. Previous signatures
   within similar environments produced tornado-damage-estimated wind
   speeds from 120 to 165 mph and confidence is high for likely strong
   to potentially intense tornado. A tornado is ongoing and may
   continue based on the rotational velocity duration and the storm
   moving within a favorable downstream environment.
