Areas affected...portions of the Florida Peninsula into North
Florida and central Georgia

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 171842Z - 172045Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Widely scattered thunderstorms will pose a risk for
isolated damaging wind gusts/downbursts and small to marginally
severe hail through this evening. Watch issuance is not expected.

DISCUSSION...An increase in convective coverage is expected through
this afternoon from the western Florida Peninsula into southern
Georgia along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast sea breezes. Temperatures
in the low-90s F and dewpoints in the upper-60s to low-70s are
supporting moderate to strong buoyancy, with MLCAPE of 2000-3000+
J/kg analyzed per latest mesoanalysis. Despite moderately strong
northwesterly upper-level flow, meager mid-level flow (less than 15
kts sampled at 500 mb by the 12z TBW/JAX observed soundings) is
forecast to limit effective bulk shear to around 20 kts or less.
While this is expected to largely limit storm organization, a
favorable thermodynamic environment should support pulse-severe type
convection. Steep low-level lapse rates (8+ C/km) and PWAT values of
1.5-1.8+ inches will promote the potential for strong to isolated
damaging downburst winds (likely in the 45-55 mph range). Small to
marginally severe hail may also accompany the strongest convective
cores. Convection will largely be diurnally driven, with coverage
forecast to decrease later this evening owing to nocturnal
cooling/stabilization. Given the expectation for storm organization
and threat magnitude to remain limited, watch issuance is not
expected.

Happy mothers day to all the moms out there. The severe weather threat and risk for today (05/10/26) was downgraded overnight by the SPC, Only parts of Ga under any severe weather risk is Extreme SE Ga (over near Kingsland and Folkston Ga) for today. Tomorrow most of Ga is under a marginal risk with damaging winds being the main threat.

0820am 05/08/26
Next 3 days- (Mother's day weekend) Today thru Sunday, there is a Marginal risk for isolated severe storms across Southern Ga. Damaging winds are the threat each day, but Saturday and Sunday an isolated tornado or 2 cant be ruled out as well. No set time frame for storms to move thru (anytime during the next 3 days). Make sure you have ways to receive warnings if they are issued for your area.

05/07/2026

4:35pm ET May 7th - Much of the severe threat has diminished outside a few isolated strong storms along the coast. A frontal boundary will stall across the area tonight, and more scattered showers/storms are possible tomorrow with an isolated strong or severe storm possible in the afternoon.

Areas affected...Parts of south AL...southwest GA...FL Panhandle

Concerning...Tornado Watch 189...190...

Valid 071204Z - 071330Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 189, 190 continues.

SUMMARY...Some threat for damaging wind and a tornado will persist
through the morning.

DISCUSSION...Scattered strong storms are ongoing as of 12 UTC across
south AL, southwest GA, and the northwest FL Panhandle. Despite rich
low-level moisture and a favorable kinematic environment, storms
have struggled to maintain severe intensity this morning, likely due
to weak low/midlevel lapse rates and a tendency for storms to
generally be oriented parallel to a southward-sagging outflow
boundary.

Early visible satellite imagery suggests some clearing and potential
for filtered heating across parts of the FL Panhandle into southwest
GA. Any substantial destabilization and steepening of low-level
lapse rates could yield an uptick in severe potential through the
morning, as storms generally move east-southeastward. While some
modest weakening and veering of low-level flow will be possible from
west to east, deep-layer flow/shear will remain more than sufficient
for organized convection, resulting in localized damaging-wind and
tornado potential with any supercells or small bowing segments.

Concerning...Tornado Watch 189...190...

Valid 070920Z - 071115Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 189, 190 continues.

SUMMARY...Some threat for damaging wind and a tornado will continue
through dawn.

DISCUSSION...A small supercell has evolved across southeast MS, in
the vicinity of an outflow boundary associated with more widespread
convection across south AL. This cell may have the greatest
short-term opportunity to move within a somewhat more moist and
unstable environment. With strong deep-layer flow/shear still in
place, localized damaging wind and/or a tornado cannot be ruled out
with this cell, if it persists.

Otherwise, convection near and north of the outflow may tend to
remain somewhat disorganized in the short term, though if any
ongoing storms can mature and take on a more rightward motion like
the southeast MS cell, then some uptick in the damaging wind and
tornado threat could still occur through dawn.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 190
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
255 AM EDT Thu May 7 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of
Southeast Alabama
Central and Eastern Florida Panhandle
Southwest Georgia
Coastal Waters

* Effective this Thursday morning from 255 AM until 1000 AM EDT.

* Primary threats include...
A couple tornadoes possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible

SUMMARY...A line of thunderstorms will continue to push
eastward/southeastward into the moist and unstable airmass in place
over southeast Alabama/southwest Georgia and the central/eastern
Florida Panhandle. Strong deep-layer vertical shear will support the
potential for occasional storm organization within this line, with
the strongest segments capable of damaging gusts and brief
line-embedded tornadoes.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
north and south of a line from 50 miles southwest of Dothan AL to 30
miles south of Moultrie GA. For a complete depiction of the watch
see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.

Areas affected...southern MS into south AL...southwest GA...and the
FL Panhandle

Concerning...Tornado Watch 189...

Valid 070638Z - 070815Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 189 continues.

SUMMARY...A tornado and damaging-wind threat will continue
overnight. Eventual downstream watch issuance is likely.

DISCUSSION...Despite the presence of very rich low-level moisture,
moderate buoyancy, and strong deep-layer flow/shear, convection has
become rather disorganized early this morning across southern MS/AL
into southwest GA. This is likely due to gradually increasing MLCINH
and generally poor low-level lapse rates related to the deep, moist
boundary layer. However, favorable low-level moisture transport and
upper jet dynamics will continue to sustain convection through the
overnight, with most guidance depicting renewed strengthening of
850-700 mb flow.

While a cluster mode may be maintained through the overnight hours,
strong effective shear (50+ kt) will remain favorable for embedded
supercells and/or small bowing segments, if there is any uptick in
storm intensity. 0-1 km SRH will conditionally support tornadoes
along/ahead of the composite outflow/front that will continue to
move southeastward with time. Strong low/midlevel flow will also
support damaging-wind potential, especially if any stronger cold
pools can become established. Isolated hail also cannot be ruled out
with the strongest updrafts.

With some preconvective moistening and destabilization expected into
parts of southeast AL/southwest GA and the FL Panhandle, eventual
downstream watch issuance is considered likely.
