    Areas affected...North FL into southeast GA

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 34...

    Valid 091852Z - 092015Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 34 continues.

    SUMMARY...Some threat for locally damaging gusts and a tornado or
    two may continue through the afternoon. Local extension of WW 34 may
    be needed.

    DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms with embedded supercell
    structures is ongoing at 1845 UTC from southeast GA into north FL.
    While some gradual veering of low-level flow has been noted with
    time, moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg) and rather strong
    low-level (with 0-1 km SRH of 150-250 m2/s2) and deep-layer shear
    continue to be supportive of organized convection. Occasional
    embedded supercell structures continue to be noted, and some threat
    for a tornado or two may persist through much of the afternoon,
    especially with the supercell currently over Brantley County, GA.
    Otherwise, locally damaging gusts will remain possible with the
    strongest storms, especially in areas where stronger heating and
    steepening of low-level lapse rates have been observed.=20

    While an eventual weakening trend is expected as stronger
    large-scale ascent moves away from the region, some severe threat
    will persist beyond the 2 PM EST expiration time of WW 34. As a
    result, local watch extension may be needed to address the threat
    through late afternoon.
