   Mesoscale Discussion 0094
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0308 PM CST Mon Feb 15 2021

   Areas affected...the eastern half of the Florida Panhandle into
   adjacent southern Georgia and northern Florida

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

   Valid 152108Z - 152315Z

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

   SUMMARY...Widespread storms, and local severe weather threat,
   continues within Tornado Watches 007 and 008.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a band of strong storms
   crossing central portions of the Florida Panhandle, and far
   southeastern Alabama near the Alabama/Georgia border -- within WW
   007.  Other/more isolated storms continue farther east, into
   northern portions of the Florida Peninsula -- within WW 008.

   The boundary layer across WW 007 has been slow to destabilize
   northward, and with increasingly widespread precipitation
   moving/spreading across the remainder of the WW area, little
   additional surface-based destabilization is expected before storms
   exit the watch over the next hour to hour and a half.  Until then,
   damaging winds will remain the primary severe risk, with a tornado
   or two still possible.

   Meanwhile, a much more favorable thermodynamic environment persists
   across roughly the southern half of WW 008, but flow -- though
   gradually increasing -- remains weaker than areas farther west. 
   Still, gusty/damaging winds and a tornado or two remain possible,
   with risk to begin diminishing gradually into early evening beyond
   the diurnal instability peak.
