AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF ERN GA INTO SRN SC

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL 

VALID 221654Z - 221730Z

NEW WW MAY BE REQUIRED ACROSS PORTIONS OF ERN GA INTO SRN SC.

THREAT FOR ELEVATED STORMS PRODUCING SEVERE HAIL AND POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING WINDS IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD NWD ACROSS ERN GA INTO SRN SC
DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. 16Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WARM
FRONT CONTINUED TO MOVE NWD ACROSS CENTRAL AL AND SRN GA...WITH A
SECOND WARM FRONT LOCATED GENERALLY E-W ACROSS CENTRAL/NRN GA.
REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS NORTH OF THE 
BOUNDARY ACROSS SRN GA.  THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND IN
COVERAGE AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASES WITH THE APPROACH OF A
STRONG WSWLY MID LEVEL JET.  EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER ALREADY INDICATED
OVER MUCH OF ERN GA AND SRN SC SUGGESTS DESTABILIZATION WILL BE
SOMEWHAT SLOW. HOWEVER...DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ELEVATED ORGANIZED STORMS...DESPITE MARGINAL
INSTABILITY.
