SPC Mesoscale Discussion: Tornado Watch 86…
SUMMARY…Isolated severe/tornado risk continues, and will shift gradually east/northeast with time. New WW may eventually be needed.
DISCUSSION…Latest radar loop shows a subtle uptick in convective intensity within the band of storms extending from eastern Tennessee/western Virginia/western North Carolina south to eastern parts of the Florida Panhandle. While the strongest storms remain within Tornado Watch 86, continued gradual moistening/destabilization ahead of the convection this morning will permit risk to spread out of the watch into eastern and Georgia/northern Florida. Given strong background shear — supportive of organized/rotating storms, risk for damaging winds and a few tornadoes will persist. As such, a new WW will likely be required as storms begin to exit WW 86.
