Mesoscale Discussion 1823 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1108 AM CDT Mon Aug 05 2024 Areas affected...far southern South Carolina...Southeast Georgia...central and northeast Florida Concerning...Tornado Watch 596... Valid 051608Z - 051700Z CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT OCEAN REFERENCE The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 596 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated tornado threat will persist through the day today. DISCUSSION...Tropical Storm Debby is slowly moving north through portions of northwest Florida. An extensive region of banded precipitation extends from the eastern eyewall into the western Atlantic and across the Florida Peninsula. Instability has been mostly weak amid persistent stratiform rain across northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. Greater instability has developed with more broken cloudcover across central Florida where lightning activity has been focused. However, surface winds are veered in this region and thus, the tornado threat is somewhat muted. The wind profile sampled by the JAX VWP remains quite favorable for low-level updraft organization and tornado potential. If greater instability can develop along the coast later today, an increasing tornado threat is possible from southeast Georgia into eastern South Carolina as the wind field expands northward. ..Bentley.. 08/05/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
