    Areas affected...parts of swrn through e cntrl GA...wrn and cntrl SC

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 071240Z - 071445Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...At least low probabilities for an additional tornado or
    two and/or locally damaging surface gusts continues in scattered
    thunderstorm activity overspread the region through 10-11 AM EDT.=20
    It is still not clear that a severe weather watch is needed in the
    near term, but trends will continue to be monitored for this
    possibility.

    DISCUSSION...Stronger boundary-layer instability, characterized by
    CAPE near or above 1000 J/kg, still remains confined to a narrow
    pre-frontal corridor across the western Florida Panhandle through
    southwestern into southern portions of central GA. However, some
    cooling loft appears to be contributing to at least weak
    destabilization north-northeastward toward the South Carolina
    Piedmont.

    The front, with a couple of weak waves along it, will continue a
    slow eastward progression through mid to late morning, with the
    Rapid Refresh indicating that a moderate south-southwesterly
    low-level jet (in excess of 40 kt around 850 mb) will maintain
    sizable, clockwise-curved low-level hodographs within the
    instability axis.

    Cloud cover spreading downstream of the stronger ongoing convective
    development probably will slow boundary-layer destabilization, and
    it is not certain that there will be a substantive further increase
    in thunderstorm intensities in the near term. However, the MCV,
    which apparently recently contributed to a tornado south-southwest
    of the Greater Atlanta area, continues east-northeastward toward the
    South Carolina Piedmont, and it not clear that the downstream
    environment will not support an additional relatively short-lived
    tornado or two. Farther south, in the corridor of better
    instability, focused along the low-level jet axis near/north and
    east of the Albany into Macon vicinities, there may also be
    continuing potential for short-lived intensification of
    meso-vortices embedded with the ongoing narrow band of convection.
