    Areas affected...Southern and Eastern Georgia...Far Southern South
    Carolina

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 11...12...

    Valid 161132Z - 161330Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 11, 12 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts and an isolated tornado threat will be
    possible as a squall line moves eastward across the remainder of
    Georgia this morning. Southern South Carolina will also be affected.
    Weather watch issuance may become necessary later this morning, to
    the east of the ongoing watches.

    DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a squall line
    located in Georgia from Albany northeastward to about 50 statute
    miles west of Augusta. The line is located ahead of a fast-moving
    cold front. Surface dewpoints ahead of the line are mostly in the
    60s F, with the RAP showing weak instability in place. In spite of
    this, the line has remained organized likely due to strong
    large-scale ascent associated with an approaching trough, and
    frontal forcing. Short-term model forecasts suggest the line will
    remain intact for several more hours this morning, as it approaches
    the Atlantic coast. The strong low to mid-level flow, evident on
    regional WSR-88D VWPs, will likely enable the line to produce severe
    gusts, especially with bowing segments that form within the line
    itself. Very strong low-level shear will also likely support an
    isolated tornado threat in the short-term.
