Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Tampa Bay, FL (KTBW), launched 00:00Z, 4.0 hours before the alert went out and 279 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 913 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 ...New UPDATE... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 903 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 - Thunderstorms through Monday could be strong to possibly severe. Isolated damaging wind gusts are the main concern, though nuisance flooding, lightning and small hail are also expected. There is a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) of severe thunderstorms through tonight. - There is a medium chance (50 percent) of dangerous heat index values exceeding 107 degrees on Monday afternoon mainly over the Florida Panhandle and Western Big Bend into Southeast Alabama. && .UPDATE... Issued at 903 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Quite the messy radar this evening with 3 separate clusters of storms. The first is a line of weakening, though gusty line of thunderstorms near the I-10 corridor in the Florida Panhandle. This is moving southward, producing gusts of 30-45 mph. This should decay in the next couple hours. To the east, over the eastern Big Bend, another line of storms is moving southwestward toward the Nature Coast and Apalachee Bay with some gusts of 30-40 mph at times and a few scattered storms ahead of it over Wakulla and Jefferson Counties. However, the main show will be an organizing line of strong to severe storms near I-75 from Turner into Tift Counties with some storms developing to the south in Lowndes and Lanier Counties. These storms will likely become more of an organized complex of storms as it moves south-southwestward through our Georgia counties during the rest of this evening, possibly surviving into the western Big Bend into the overnight hours. Gusty, perhaps damaging winds are possible in the strongest storms. Storms should weaken overnight with the loss of daytime instability, but there remains ample instability for the time being across the area. Rain chances were tweaked to reflect current radar trends. Otherwise, no significant changes were made to the other elements. && .SHORT TERM... (This Evening through Monday) Issued at 158 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe thunderstorms this evening into early tonight across portions of Southeast AL, Southwest GA, and the FL Panhandle and Big Bend generally north of I-10. While some convection will fire up with the seabreeze in the FL counties, the main show will be additional convection associated with a short wave propagating Southwestward into the region from the Northeast, centered on late this evening into early tonight. Increasing DCAPE will support isolated damaging wind gusts of 50-60 mph while cold air aloft may allow for some small hail (less than 1 inch). As the convection moves toward the Gulf Coast after midnight, expect it to weaken as CIN increases, although wind gusts to 40 mph would pose a hazard to mariners. Will also have to watch for flooding potential, which is highest in the I-75 corridor of GA. Patchy fog is likely by late tonight. Monday, afternoon and evening convection will be most prolific in the FL Panhandle and Big Bend, with less coverage Northwest. Not as much support for severe weather with elevated DCAPE still supporting gusty winds to 40 mph with storms. Highs in the low 90s and dew points in the mid-70s will support heat indices in the 105-109F range mainly in the FL Panhandle, where a Heat Advisory may be needed. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 158 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Easterly flow on the southern periphery of the subtropical ridge will keep a moist air mass in place with daily chances of showers and storms through Thursday. The approach of a longwave trough should increase chances of showers and storms further by Friday into the weekend as the the flow becomes Southwest. Temperatures will remain above average for early September in the lower 90s. The pattern should become more conducive for fog during the week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 752 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Lots of "moving parts" to consider in this set of TAFs. First it the trend of ongoing activity to continue moving south and possibly southwest over the next few hours. This would affect ECP and VLD in the next few hours. The activity currently over south Georgia could continue southwest, affecting TLH and possibly ECP overnight and early Monday morning. Elsewhere, the moist low- level air mass could support low stratus and mist around sunrise at DHN, ABY, and VLD. Then a more routine round of afternoon convective development is likely on Monday afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 158 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Light and gentle southwest breezes will prevail through Monday. On Monday night, the southern periphery of high pressure will bridge in from the northeast, forcing a shift to gentle and moderate northeast to east breezes for Tuesday and Wednesday. Northeast breezes will weaken and turn back southwesterly on Thursday. Otherwise, thunderstorms will be most prevalent over the waters each morning, bringing sudden wind gusts, lightning, and possibly waterspouts. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 158 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 A seasonably moist and unstable air mass will remain in place throughout this week. A northeast flow will develop on Monday and become more solid by Tuesday as the southern periphery of high pressure to the north bridges south across the districts. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast each day this week. Thunderstorms through Monday have potential to be strong, bringing gusty downburst winds. Otherwise, low dispersion may persist into Monday afternoon mainly in the FL Big Bend. Meanwhile, heat index values of 105-109F are forecast on Monday in the FL Panhandle into portions of Southeast AL and the Western FL Big Bend. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 158 PM EDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Through Monday, flooding concerns will be confined to the short- lived nuisance variety beneath heavier thunderstorms, mainly impacting urban and poor drainage areas. The I-75 corridor of GA may be most impacted this evening into early tonight, followed by the FL Counties on Monday. No flooding is expected from Tuesday through next Saturday. River flooding is not expected for at least the next 7 days. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested. However, spotters are always encouraged to safely report significant weather conditions when they occur by calling the office or tweeting us @NWSTallahassee. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
