AREAS AFFECTED...GA...EXTREME SERN AL AND THE CENTRAL FL PANHANDLE

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 4...

VALID 051731Z - 051930Z

TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF GA...EXTREME SERN AL
AND PORTIONS OF THE FL PANHANDLE UNTIL 21Z.

AT 1715Z...A SQUALL LINE STRETCHED FROM 40 NE AHN T35 SW AHN TO 10
SE PFN AND WAS MOVING EWD AT 40 KT ON THE NORTH END AND 25-30 KT ON
THE SOUTH END. THE SQUALL LINE WAS STRONGLY BOWED ACROSS NRN GA...
WITH THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE LOCATED ALONG THIS
PORTION OF THE LINE. ALTHOUGH THE LINEAR NATURE OF THE STORMS
SUGGEST MOSTLY A DAMAGING WINDS THREAT...THE STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR
AND MLCAPES FROM 500 TO 1000 J/KG ARE SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADOES WITHIN
THE LINE...AND ISOLATED STORMS THAT DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LINE. THE
THREAT FOR WIND DAMAGE AND TORNADOES MAY INCREASE ACROSS THE ERN
PORTIONS OF THE WW THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS
CLIMB A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN CURRENT READINGS.
