The timing for a possible watch is still uncertain. The supercell threat will likely focus over Gulf, Bay, and Walton counties initially. DISCUSSION...Latest radar imagery shows a north-south band of low-topped storms arcing from near Panama City Beach to south of Apalachicola early this morning. A surface low is analyzed to the south of the AL/FL Panhandle border over the continental shelf. A warm/maritime front is slowly advancing northward and is draped generally west-east. Near and south of the boundary, surface dewpoints are in the 68-70 deg F range with drier air currently over the FL Panhandle (60 deg F inland to near 65 at the beaches). As the warm front penetrates the beaches and coastal plain this morning, the development of surface-based buoyancy (500-1000 J/kg SBCAPE) collocated with with enlarged low-level hodographs (reference KTLH and KEVX VAD data), the stronger updrafts moving ashore will probably acquire low-level mesocyclone-strength rotation and may pose an isolated tornado risk. Convective trends will be monitored for a possible tornado watch, although timing of a watch is still uncertain. ...Smith/Edwards.. 04/13/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-TwgCTsGnMB_zWZEj4bTXLujXr2yLNRiE2ODmlRRyq3O85GzdBWm2sx3-k17CGyukfJt1W6Md= IESxe6IFc7x6HH7pUc$ for graphic product...
