Areas affected...North Florida

Concerning...Tornado Watch 678...

Valid 100240Z - 100415Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 678 continues.

SUMMARY...An isolated tornado threat will persist through the early
overnight hours in north Florida, well east of the weakening inner
core of Isaias.

DISCUSSION...Hurricane Isaias is weakening and will continue
northward into southeast AL the next few hours. The hurricane is
taking on more of a hybrid structure with time as a result of strong
vertical shear and a notable intrusion of lower theta-e air west and
south of the circulation center. Farther east, a surface warm front
has been slow to advance inland across north FL and the FL
Panhandle. Occasional cellular convection and a few thunderstorms
persist in a confluence band from west of Tampa into north FL, and
shallower convection is ongoing along the primary wind shift
approaching the FL Big Bend. The lack of inland penetration of the
more unstable warm sector has limited tornado threat this evening,
with substantial improvements to low-level thermodynamic profiles
unlikely tonight. There is still a small window of opportunity for supercells/tornadoes with convection spreading inland near the
southeast corner of the watch, and a marginal supercell/brief
tornado threat a bit east of the watch into northeast FL. However,
the overall coverage and intensity of convection is expected to
weaken slowly through the overnight hours.
