    Areas affected...East central Georgia to the eastern Florida
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 50...

    Valid 160843Z - 161015Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 50 continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for occasional wind damage and a couple of
    tornadoes will persist through the morning.

    DISCUSSION...A forced, pre-frontal convective band is moving from
    central toward east central GA, with the band largely oriented
    parallel to the deep-layer flow/shear vectors. The QLCS in central
    GA is moving along the edge of the near-surface destabilization, and
    close to the 70 kt low-level jet core. Despite the weak
    near-surface buoyancy, occasional damaging gusts and a tornado or
    two could occur with embedded circulations, especially more
    north-south oriented segments. Stronger buoyancy is located farther
    to the southwest, where 68-70 F dewpoints have spread inland to
    extreme southwest GA and the eastern FL Panhandle. The more
    cellular storm mode in this area suggests some potential for
    occasional supercell structures, though low-level shear will slowly
    weaken through the morning as the low-level jet develops
    northeastward toward SC.
