   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 690 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornado threat to continue over the next few hours. A
   strong tornado or two is possible.

   DISCUSSION...A convective band associated with Hurricane Milton
   continues to track inland across the southwestern Florida peninsula.
   Ongoing supercells have produced confirmed tornado near Ft. Myers.
   Further cell development continues on the southern flank of this
   band tracking northward into a more favorable SRH environment
   sampled from the the VAD profile at TBW (Tampa, FL). A strong
   thermal gradient remains in place across the southern Florida
   Peninsula with MLCAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg amid temperatures in the
   upper 70s to 80s. Expect continued potential for tornadoes, a few of
   which may be strong, to continue through the afternoon.
