    Areas affected...Northwestern...central and southern AL/western FL
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 420...

    Valid 011250Z - 011445Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 420 continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong/damaging wind gusts and a tornado threat continue
    across valid portions of WW 420 this morning, with the potential for
    these severe hazards to occur being the greatest across the southern
    part of this watch.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar imagery showed a QLCS continuing
    to advance east through western quarter of AL early this morning.
    Lightning data indicated a diminishing trend from north to south
    since 09Z, with recent concentration of strikes located across
    southwest AL where instability is the greatest. Despite the lack of
    stronger buoyancy with northward extent into central and
    northwestern AL, strengthening deep-layer winds fields across AL per
    area VWPs will sustain strong shear and large low-level hodographs.
    The severe probabilities for the tornado threat and damaging winds
    will be greater across the southern part of WW 420, given closer
    proximity to better buoyancy/destabilization. However, WW 420
    should not be cancelled early across central AL, as the
    low-CAPE/high-shear parameter space is favorable for, at least, a transient/brief tornado potential embedded in the QLCS. This threat
    should diminish as convection encounters a more stable environment
    with eastward extent across northeast and east-central AL.
