Areas affected...portions of Georgia



Concerning...Tornado Watch 188...



Valid 070100Z - 070200Z



The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 188 continues.



SUMMARY...A complicated mesoscale environment with widespread

convection will continue to support a severe risk this evening.

Damaging gusts are the most likely hazard, but a couple of tornadoes

are possible.



DISCUSSION...Across Tornado Watch 188, several clusters of strong to

severe storms are ongoing as of 01 UTC. The northern cluster has

been hampered by earlier outflow and weaker buoyancy. However,

strong vertical shear, and the presence of a few stronger

reflectively cores along and just north of the outflow over northern

AL and northwest GA may support some upscale growth into a loose

line or cluster with time. This could support an isolated risk for

damaging gusts.



Farther south, a mix of supercells and linear clusters across

eastern AL will eventually move into western and central GA this

evening. While buoyancy is again fairly limited, strong vertical

shear may maintain a few of these stronger storms tonight.

Increasing low-level shear beneath a 30-40 kt low-level jet would

also support a couple of tornadoes with any stronger rotating cells.

Thus, the severe risk is likely to continue over much of WW188.
