COASTAL WATERS

EFFECTIVE THIS SUNDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON FROM 630 AM UNTIL 100
PM CST.

TORNADOES...HAIL TO 1 INCH IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS
TO 70 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

THE TORNADO WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 80 STATUTE
MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 30 MILES SOUTHEAST OF MOBILE
ALABAMA TO 20 MILES NORTH NORTHWEST OF SELMA ALABAMA. FOR A
COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE

PANHANDLE. THIS MOISTENING WILL SUPPORT MLCAPE VALUES TO NEAR 500
J/KG WITH CONVECTION ROOTED AT THE SURFACE...IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF
VERY STRONG LOW-LEVEL AND DEEP-LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR. GIVEN THE
GRADUAL INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORMS OBSERVED ACROSS SE MS/SW AL...IT
APPEARS THAT THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND A COUPLE OF TORNADOES
WILL LIKEWISE INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING.
