    Areas affected...Tampa Bay vicinity

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 708...

    Valid 121553Z - 121800Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 708 continues.

    SUMMARY...The greatest risk for a brief tornado may focus near the
    greater Tampa Bay vicinity through 200pm (1800 UTC).

    DISCUSSION...Recent surface analysis indicates a very moist/buoyant
    airmass is located over the west-central portion of the FL Peninsula
    with mid-upper 80s deg F temperatures and near 80 deg dewpoints.=20
    This airmass was sampled by the 12 UTC TBW raob and little change
    has likely occurred thermodynamically except for slightly warmer
    surface temperatures. As a larger cluster of the convection west of
    Tampa Bay moves towards the bay over the next 1-2 hours, expecting intermittent/transient rotation with the stronger updrafts embedded
    within the larger convective cluster. 40-kt southwesterly 1-km AGL
    flow will maintain sufficiently enlarged hodographs for at least the
    next few hours and potentially favor transient low-level mesocyclone development capable of an isolated risk for near-shore
    waterspouts/tornadoes. It is unclear whether some of the focused
    tornado risk will be maintained as this activity moves farther
    inland into the central portions of the peninsula.
