Areas affected...North-central Alabama...Northern Georgia

Concerning...Tornado Watch 308...309...

Valid 210425Z - 210630Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 308, 309 continues.

SUMMARY...A severe threat may continue for a couple more hours
across north-central Alabama and northern Georgia. An isolated
tornado threat, along with a potential for hail and severe wind
gusts will continue.

DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a broken line
segment with multiple embedded supercells over parts of northern
Georgia and north-central Alabama. A moist but weakly unstable
airmass is located to the southeast of the line. Across this
airmass, surface dewpoints are in the mid to upper 60s F, and the
RAP has MLCAPE from 500 to 1000 J/kg. In addition, the WSR-88D VWP
near Atlanta has 0-6 km shear near 60 knots, and 0-3 km
storm-relative helicity near 370 m2/s2. This will support an
isolated tornado threat over the next couple of hours, with the
strongest of supercells. Recently, a transition to more linear
structure has occurred with many of the cells. As this transition
continues to occur, isolated wind damage will be possible with the
more organized line segments.
