TORNADO WATCH SHIFTS FURTHER SOUTH!

 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 24
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   955 PM EST Sun Jan 22 2017

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Central and South Florida
     Coastal Waters

   * Effective this Sunday night and Monday morning from 955 PM
     until 600 AM EST.

   * Primary threats include...
     A couple tornadoes possible
     Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
     Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...A lingering threat for severe thunderstorms will shift
   southeastward down the peninsula overnight, both from the main band
   of thunderstorms initially across central Florida and relatively
   discrete cells moving off the Gulf.  Instability, moisture and
   vertical shear all will remain favorable for several more hours at
   least.  The risk exists for damaging gusts, isolated large hail and
   a couple of tornadoes.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles
   either side of a line from 35 miles north of Avon Park FL to 55
   miles southwest of Miami FL. For a complete depiction of the watch
   see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

   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.

   &&

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...This tornado watch replaces tornado
   watch number 23. Watch number 23 will not be in effect after 955
   PM EST. 

   AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
   surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
   gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450. Mean
   storm motion vector 25030.

SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FROM SPC

 Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1028 AM CST Sun Jan 22 2017

   Valid 221630Z - 231200Z

   ...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...NORTHERN FL...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST
   AL...

   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   AL...FL...GA...AND SC...

   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
   AL...FL...GA...SC...AND NC...

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
   AL...FL...GA...SC...AND NC...

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF THE
   SOUTHEAST STATES...

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF CENTRAL
   CA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A severe thunderstorm and tornado outbreak is expected today across
   north Florida and south Georgia, with the significant severe threat
   also expected to extend southward into central Florida and
   northeastward into South Carolina this evening.

   ...AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE STORMS AND TORNADOES IS EXPECTED THIS
   AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER PARTS OF NORTHERN FLORIDA, AND
   CENTRAL/SOUTHERN GEORGIA...

   ...Southern AL/North FL/Southern GA...
   The late morning surface analysis shows a rapidly deepening low near
   MOB, with a convectively reinforced warm front extending eastward
   from the low along the FL/GA border.  This low is forecast to deepen
   over 12mb in the next 12 hours as it tracks northeastward.  This
   rapid cyclogenesis will be accompanied by very strong low and mid
   level wind accelerations across parts of GA/FL.  The result will be
   a zone of impressive shear profiles in the warm-sector of the low,
   along with ample low level moisture and rather steep lapse rates. 
   Forecast soundings in the HIGH risk area are characterized by
   effective helicity values of 500-700 m2/s2 overlapping MLCAPE of
   1000-1500 J/kg.  This rare parameter space will support the risk of
   long-track strong tornadoes across the HIGH risk area.  Also, very
   strong low and mid level winds and steep lapse rates suggest a
   significant risk of bowing structures capable of widespread damaging
   winds and large hail.  The line of storms will eventually sag
   southward across the entire FL Peninsula overnight with a continued
   severe risk.

   ...Northeast AL/Northern GA...
   As the rapidly deepening surface low lifts northeastward, a plume of
   rather steep mid level lapse rates and strong winds aloft will wrap
   around the low.  This may result in an arc of strong to severe
   storms affecting parts of northeast AL and northern GA later this
   afternoon and evening.  Ample low level vorticity along this arc may
   be sufficient for a few tornadoes, along with large hail and
   damaging wind gusts.

   ...Carolinas...
   The convective evolution is uncertain over parts of SC/NC later
   today due to the widespread upstream thunderstorm coverage expected,
   and the persistent thunderstorm complex now over southeast GA. 
   Given the strength of the wind fields and cyclogenesis, there
   remains a significant threat of severe storms spreading
   northeastward across much of SC and into southeast NC after dark,
   with damaging winds and a few tornadoes being the main threat.  Its
   unclear how far north and west this threat will extend, but have
   lessened severe probabilities over parts of western/central NC where
   cool air and clouds are likely to persist.

   ...Central CA Coast...
   Multiple bands of showers and thunderstorms are expected to spread
   inland and affect the central CA coast this afternoon.  Cool
   temperatures aloft and steep mid level lapse rates, combined with
   the strong west-southwesterly winds aloft, will support a risk of
   fast-moving bowing structures capable of locally damaging winds and
   hail.

TORNADO WATCH STILL IN EFFECT

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 17
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   650 PM CST Sat Jan 21 2017

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Central and southern Alabama
     Western and central Florida Panhandle
     Small part of southeastern Mississippi
     Coastal Waters

   * Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 650 PM
     until 300 AM CST.

   ...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION...

   * Primary threats include...
     Several tornadoes and a few intense tornadoes likely
     Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
       mph possible
     Isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter
       possible

   SUMMARY...A cluster of storms now moving into extreme southwestern
   Alabama is the first of what likely will be several areas of severe
   weather moving across this watch overnight.  As a warm front moves
   northward across the region, conditions will moisten and destabilize
   considerably amidst strong vertical shear.  The resulting parameter
   space is one often associated with long-lasting, intense tornadoes
   rated EF2 or greater.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 100 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 80 miles north of Mobile AL to 50
   miles south of Columbus GA. For a complete depiction of the watch
   see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

   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.

   &&

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 15...WW 16...

   AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
   surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
   gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450. Mean
   storm motion vector 25030.
