A Tornado Watch will eventually be needed. DISCUSSION...The center of Hurricane Francine continues to translate northeast as it approaches the LA coastline. Extending east-northeast of Francine's center is a zonal rainband, comprised of relatively discrete cells (some possibly transient supercellular). At the moment, these storms are percolating in intensity offshore, where a greater theta-e/buoyant airmass resides. However, this airmass is expected to gradually advect northward/inland with the north-northeastward progression of Francine through the afternoon and evening hours. HDC and MOB VADs show increasing hodograph sizes/curvature, indicating stronger low-level shear become established along the Gulf Coast. As such, a corresponding tornado threat should increase with the more favorable low-level warm-air/moisture advection. A Tornado Watch will eventually be needed. ...Squitieri/Guyer.. 09/11/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9EzNAXyVEphhSZ_Dl5_XdbqhlZ0tuoIE9ckbzopn60_KwzjGj9E8E-kzwDCc9frB3WpXcO92_= HQDgLe5YL9NU606gjU$ for graphic product...
