AREAS AFFECTED...NRN FL...AL...GA ...NE MS...SRN TN...WRN NC AND SC

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 632...633...

VALID 102222Z - 110015Z

RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING...
TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR POSSIBILITY OF AN ADDITIONAL WW TO
THE NORTH OF 632 AND 633.

STRONG CYCLONIC CIRCULATION CENTER ASSOCIATED WITH DENNIS IS NOW
INTO SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...NORTH/NORTHEAST OF MOBILE.  AIR MASS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST IS VERY MOIST/NEAR SATURATED WITH SURFACE DEW
POINTS NEAR OR ABOVE 70F.  THUS...EVEN WITH WEAKENING LIKELY AS
SYSTEM CONTINUES NORTHWARD INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS
EVENING...LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL MAINTAIN STRONG ENOUGH SHEAR TO
SUPPORT AT LEAST BRIEF/ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT IN BROAD SWATH ON ITS
NORTHERN/EASTERN PERIPHERY.  TORNADO THREAT MAY BEGIN TO DIMINISH
ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN FLORIDA WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...AS
RISK GRADUALLY INCREASES NORTHWARD INTO PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS AND TENNESSEE VALLEY.
