    Areas affected...parts of GA to the FL Panhandle

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 723...

    Valid 290906Z - 291030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 723 continues.

    SUMMARY...Potential for brief tornadoes and sporadic damaging winds
    from strong gusts should persist through sunrise as a QLCS
    progresses across Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.

    DISCUSSION...Overall severe potential has subdued slightly in the
    early morning hours as the faster-moving/north-south oriented
    portion of the QLCS spread into GA from AL. Despite the presence of
    a 60-kt rear inflow jet per the MXX and EOX VWP data, measured
    surface gusts have largely ranged from 40-55 mph. The forward motion
    of this line at around 45 kts appears to be outpacing MLCAPE in
    excess of 500 J/kg. Still, low to mid 60s surface dew points have
    become common across central GA and will support scant to meager
    buoyancy downstream. This should be sufficient for a sporadic wind
    damage and brief tornado threat given the strong low-level
    winds/SRH.

    The trailing portion of the QLCS in the western FL Panhandle has
    been steadily moving east at around 25 kts, lagging well behind the west-central GA portion. Rich low-level moisture combined with
    sufficient shear will support potential for tornadogenesis and
    occasional strong gusts. These threats may tend to be focused near
    the coast where inflection in the large-scale convective outflow is
    maintained.
