AREAS AFFECTED...NERN GA...NWRN SC

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY 

VALID 051706Z - 051700Z

STRONGLY FORCED LINE OF TSTMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE ENEWD AT UP TO
40KT AND INTO PARTS OF NERN GA/NWRN SC THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON. A
NEW TORNADO WATCH COVERING PORTIONS OF THESE AREAS WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED SHORTLY.

DESPITE GENERALLY WEAK INSTABILITY /MUCAPE AROUND 300-400 J PER
KG/...STRONG FORCING AND POTENT WIND FIELDS ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN
A CONTINUING THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES AS A
STRONG MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH EJECTS NEWD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
U.S. THROUGH TONIGHT. LATEST RUC FORECASTS CONFIRM OBSERVATIONAL
DATA THAT SURFACE AIR MASS ACROSS NWRN SC WILL LIKELY SUPPORT
SURFACE-BASED CONVECTION WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S F AND
SURFACE TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 60S. LATEST RUC SOUNDINGS DEPICT
INCREASINGLY STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THIS REGION
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS STORMS SPREAD ENEWD. SMALL SCALE LEWP/BOW
STRUCTURES ALREADY EVIDENT IN THE LINE SHOULD CONTINUE TO POSE A
THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND OCCASIONAL/BRIEF TORNADOES. A NEW WATCH
WILL BE COORDINATED SHORTLY.
