    Areas affected...Portions of far east-central MS...northern/central
    AL...and northern GA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 192154Z - 192330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple loosely organized storms capable of marginally
    severe hail and locally damaging gusts are possible for the next
    couple hours. Watch not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are developing across portions
    of northern AL this afternoon, ahead of an outflow-augmented cold
    front draped across the region. Attempts at convective initiation
    are also evident over far east-central MS and northern GA.
    Antecedent heating/destabilization of a moist boundary layer (upper
    60s/lower 70s dewpoints) has yielded moderate surface-based
    instability ahead of the front. This may support a couple loosely
    organized multicells and transient supercell structures, given 30-35
    kt of effective shear -- characterized by a mostly straight
    hodograph (with weak low-level shear). Therefore, marginally severe
    hail (near 1 inch in diameter) and locally damaging gusts cannot be
    ruled out with any robust/sustained cores during the next couple
    hours, before the onset of nocturnal cooling/stabilization. Weak
    synoptic and mesoscale ascent should keep the severe risk localized,
    and a watch is not expected.
