   Areas affected...Florida Panhandle into parts of central to southern
   Georgia

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 24...

   Valid 050735Z - 051100Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 24 continues.

   SUMMARY...Sporadic gusts near severe levels will remain possible
   along the cold front as it progresses into central and southern
   Georgia, and sweeps across the Florida Panhandle.

   DISCUSSION...A high-reflectivity line of thunderstorms persists
   along the cold front, with the bulk of the lightning activity
   extending from southwest GA southward. While surface-based CAPE is
   very low in most areas of GA, extreme shear coupled with brief heavy
   precipitation within the line may augment surface gusts.

   Meanwhile, slightly better moisture with low 60s F dewpoints are now
   into southern GA, with mid 60s along the northern Gulf Coast. Robust
   supercells are indicated well offshore, and should largely remain
   over the water for much of the night.

   Otherwise, the primary area of concern will be the frontal segment
   now over the FL Panhandle and extending into southwest GA. Here,
   pressure falls are currently maximized, and gusts over 44 kt have
   been measured recently. As such, the primary risk over the next few
   hours should remain largely within tornado watch 24, but portions of
   the squall line just north and moving into central GA will need to
   be monitored for watch potential given such strong shear and readily
   gusty wind environment.
