    Areas affected...Parts of south AL...southwest GA...FL Panhandle

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 189...190...

    Valid 071204Z - 071330Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 189, 190 continues.

    SUMMARY...Some threat for damaging wind and a tornado will persist
    through the morning.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered strong storms are ongoing as of 12 UTC across
    south AL, southwest GA, and the northwest FL Panhandle. Despite rich
    low-level moisture and a favorable kinematic environment, storms
    have struggled to maintain severe intensity this morning, likely due
    to weak low/midlevel lapse rates and a tendency for storms to
    generally be oriented parallel to a southward-sagging outflow
    boundary.=20

    Early visible satellite imagery suggests some clearing and potential
    for filtered heating across parts of the FL Panhandle into southwest
    GA. Any substantial destabilization and steepening of low-level
    lapse rates could yield an uptick in severe potential through the
    morning, as storms generally move east-southeastward. While some
    modest weakening and veering of low-level flow will be possible from
    west to east, deep-layer flow/shear will remain more than sufficient
    for organized convection, resulting in localized damaging-wind and
    tornado potential with any supercells or small bowing segments.
