Areas affected...central into eastern Georgia

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

Valid 210836Z - 211000Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Ongoing thunderstorms across portions of the southeast
will generally continue to weaken this morning. However a brief wind
threat or QLCS-like tornado threat may persist in the short term,
before weakening.

DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms continues to move
east-southeast across eastern Alabama and central Georgia this
morning. These thunderstorms have generally been on a weakening
trend since late Tuesday evening. However, the environment remains
strongly sheared and buoyant this morning, which supports at least
episodic thunderstorm intensity pulses capable of producing sporadic
wind damage. Additionally, 0-500 meter shear is in excess of 30
knots with 0-500 meter SRH around 300 m2/s2. This kind of low-level
environment will support at least short-term threat of brief, QLCS
tornadoes -- especially with any stronger thunderstorm core-boundary interactions.

The overall large-scale forcing is generally weaker this morning
with south extent. The current thinking is that the ongoing Georgia thunderstorms should weaken with the severe risk becoming
increasingly localized as the thunderstorms become more displaced
from the stronger forcing. A new watch is not expected.
