   Areas affected...Central/northern Georgia

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 87...

   Valid 311655Z - 311830Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 87
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging winds and a brief QLCS tornado remain possible as
   an organized line continues east through parts of central/northern
   Georgia.

   DISCUSSION...The portion of the convective line moving through
   central/northern Georgia has shown greater acceleration over the
   past hour or so. KFFC VAD data showed low level winds increasing to
   50-65 kts as the outflow/gust front passed the radar. With buoyancy
   increasing ahead of the line, severe/damaging wind gusts should
   become more probable into the afternoon. Furthermore, low-level
   shear vectors are somewhat favorably oriented with the line and a
   brief QLCS tornado remain a possibility. A few line-embedded
   circulations have been noted on KFFC velocity data over the last 30
   minutes.
