AREAS AFFECTED...FL PANHANDLE...SRN AL...SE MS

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL 

VALID 220340Z - 220545Z

AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL EXIST WITH ROTATING CELLS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS SRN AL AND THE FL PANHANDLE. A TORNADO WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY.

A LINE OF STORMS IS CURRENTLY INTENSIFYING ALONG THE GULF COAST OF
AL AND THE FL PANHANDLE. THE CONVECTION IS JUST AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND SHOULD
INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR
THIS AREA TONIGHT INCREASE VERTICAL SHEAR AS A MID-LEVEL JET
APPROACHES THE REGION. IN ADDITION...MODERATE INSTABILITY IS PRESENT
WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AS INDICATED BY REGIONAL WSR-88D VWPS.
THIS SHOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR ROTATING STORMS WITH A TORNADO
POTENTIAL. ALSO...ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.
