   Areas affected...coastal GA vicinity

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 596...

   Valid 051113Z - 051315Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 596 continues.

   SUMMARY...Potential for a few waterspouts and brief/weak tornadoes
   should be focused along the coastal Georgia vicinity through late
   morning.

   DISCUSSION...Convection has blossomed over the past couple hours off
   the GA and FL Atlantic coast. Some of this activity has been drawn
   northwestward, as an outer band structure downstream of TC Debby.
   The most persistent near-term band will probably remain just north
   of the coastal GA-FL border, with weak, transient circulations
   ongoing from southern Camden County, GA offshore. Additional banding
   within lower-topped convection may also occur farther north towards
   the coastal GA-SC border through the rest of the morning. While the
   degree of instability is weak, but likely improved slightly from the
   06Z JAX/CHS soundings, the presence of a couple-county wide ribbon
   of upper 70s surface dew points across coastal southeast GA will
   contribute to regenerative updrafts over the next few hours.
   Enhanced low-level hodograph curvature within the northeast quadrant
   of slow-moving Debby will favor threats for offshore waterspouts and
   perhaps a few brief tornadoes this morning.
