Areas affected...Eastern GA into parts of SC and north FL

Concerning...Tornado Watch 50...

Valid 121250Z - 121415Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 50 continues.

SUMMARY...The wind-damage and brief tornado threat may continue
eastward through the morning.

DISCUSSION...Some decrease in convective vigor has been noted with
the long-lived QLCS moving across parts of east GA and FL Panhandle.
However, low-level rotation continues to occasionally be noted along
portions of the line, especially across parts of
east-central/southeast GA, where an evolution to more of a
semi-discrete mode has occurred. Modest downstream destabilization
and ascent attendant to an approaching mid/upper-level shortwave
trough may help to sustain organized convection through the morning,
with some wind-damage and brief-tornado threat spreading into parts
of SC and southeast GA.

Lightning activity has diminished with the southern portion of the
line approaching north FL, but strong low-level flow may continue to
support at least a localized damaging-wind threat through the
morning. Parts of north FL will be monitored for an uptick in
convective intensity later today, due to potential for somewhat
stronger diurnal destabilization in this area.
