   Areas affected...parts of South Florida

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 8...

   Valid 100211Z - 100345Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 8 continues.

   SUMMARY...Squall line moving slowly into southern Florida will
   remain capable of isolated damaging winds or a brief tornado for a
   couple more hours tonight.

   DISCUSSION...As of 0205 UTC, a well-developed squall line was
   observed stretching from Fort Pierce to just south of Naples FL. A
   slow weakening trend has been observed with the line as large-scale
   ascent has faded this evening. However, the line still remains
   fairly well organized with strong low and deep-layer shear also
   present. The environment remains broadly favorable for a few
   instances of damaging winds and a brief tornado with the stronger
   sections of the line this evening. Recent CAM trends suggest this
   will continue into the first part of tonight before storms move
   offshore and nocturnal stabilization sets in.
