Areas affected...Parts of central Florida

Concerning...Tornado Watch 690...

Valid 091550Z - 091745Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 690 continues.

SUMMARY...The tornado threat north of Lake Okeechobee is increasing
as a cluster of discrete supercells move generally northward. A
strong tornado or two will be possible this afternoon.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of discrete supercells continue to move
north/north-northwest near Lake Okeechobee. Surface temperatures
have risen into the low 80s F, with the most heating occurring in
east-central Florida. The area where temperatures in the 80s and
dewpoints in the upper 70s F will be where the tornado threat will
be maximized this afternoon. The storm just west of Lake Okeechobee
(Glades County) is currently producing a tornado per TDS evident on
KMLB radar dual-pol data. Given the easterly flow and the expected
strengthening of the low-level wind field with time (KMLB VAD data
has shown slow improvement in low-level shear), the tornado threat
north of Lake Okeechobee will continue to increase this afternoon.
The environment will support a strong tornado or two with these
storms.
