    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 626...

    Valid 112042Z - 112245Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 626
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong/severe thunderstorms are expected to persist across
    WW 626 for the next few hours. Damaging wind gusts and small hail
    will be the primary threats.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple thunderstorm complexes are currently ongoing
    in eastern AL and western GA in WW 626. They have been associated
    with both strong/severe wind (primarily tree and power line damage)
    and quarter-size hail reports. The leading storm -- currently
    located in Stewart County -- featured a robust mesocyclone for
    around an hour before weakening to its current state. The complex in
    its wake also contained multiple weaker low-level mesocyclones early
    in its evolution, likely due to its formation near/along the remnant
    outflow from the morning QLCS (now moving offshore in SC).

    The environment ahead of these thunderstorms remains favorable for
    damaging wind and hail production. The latest VADs from KEOX depict
    modest low-level shear (around 15-20 kts in the 0-3-km layer) amidst
    ample MLCAPE (3000+ J/kg). Bulk shear is expected to remain more
    marginal however, around 15 kts. This should favor a gradually
    congealing system during the next couple of hours. Current
    storm-scale trends support this evolution, depicting spreading
    outflow and cold-pool deficits around 15 degrees F. This should
    yield a gradual transition from a mixed hail/wind threat to more of
    a damaging-wind threat for the next few hours across WW 626.
