Supercells with the potential for a few tornadoes are possible overnight. A Tornado Watch is being considered. DISCUSSION...Ongoing convection across the eastern Gulf of Mexico has shown steady intensification trend this evening as it has neared the coast of the FL Big Bend and central Peninsula. The kinematic environment ahead of these storms has slowly improved, and should continue to do so, this evening with a moderate low-level jet and strong mid-level flow head of a deepening coastal low. Area VADs show 0-1km SRH increasing to 250-300 m2/s2 supportive of storm organization and rotation. Some uncertainty remains with regard to the thermodynamic environment given the timing with the diurnal cycle. While temperatures have cooled, inland advection of high-theta-e air with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s F should counteract nocturnal stabilization within the warm sector and allow for some northward movement of the warm front later tonight. The strongly sheared and weakly unstable environment will likely support a risk for supercells and a couple of tornadoes as storms move onshore tonight. A Tornado Watch may be needed across parts of the Big Bend and FL Peninsula within the hour. ...Lyons/Guyer.. 10/12/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7kNfzWEa7duZoxqPPUaYx7fo5aaOsq-2x9l1wiceXuYi6rZWcfGNIpVY8atCyxd4UjewMmHTt= soGnmwP60iPPwJgRds$ for graphic product...
