   Valid 060636Z - 060730Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 128 continues.

   SUMMARY...Ongoing convection approaching northwestern Georgia has
   shown substantive weakening trends, with little potential for
   appreciable intensification anticipated.  A new severe weather watch
   appears unlikely, but trends will continue to be monitored.

   DISCUSSION...Within a strong, and strongly sheared, ambient
   southwesterly regime, the leading edge of a line of convection
   continues to propagate toward areas near and south of the southern
   Appalachians.  Stronger convection is largely focused along and to
   the cool side of its outflow, and has recently tended to weaken,
   with lighting rapidly diminishing.  Relatively warm temperatures
   associated with broad ridging aloft continue to limit instability of
   southeasterly low-level storm inflow, and boundary-layer dew points
   decrease into the lower 60s across much of central and northern
   Georgia.  With little substantive improvement probable, ongoing
   convection seems likely to continue to weaken with diminishing
   severe weather potential across northeastern Alabama into adjacent
   northwestern Georgia.
