   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 595 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornado risk continues across portions of northern and
   central Florida and may extend into far southern Georgia in the next
   couple of hours, within stronger convective bands surrounding Debby.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows that Debby has continued making
   slow, generally northward progress over the past couple of hours,
   with the strongest convective bands now near the west-central
   Florida Gulf coast.  While an earlier tornado was reported in
   north-central Florida (Union County), observed/rotating cells are
   currently confined primarily to within a couple of strong convective
   bands within a zone from southwest of KVNC (Venice, FL) northward
   across the Tampa Area, and then northward to near and northwest of
   KCNC (Crystal River Airport, FL).  However, lesser risk remains
   possible over a broader area east of Debby's center.
