...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT REMAINS UP ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA

.UPDATE...
THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN UP THROUGH THE

BEND...THEN DIMINISH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON PERIOD AROUND THE I-75
CORRIDOR. MOST OF THE RECENT INCOMING REPORTS HAVE INCLUDED WIND
DAMAGE AND HAIL. THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED THE COLD FRONT
EXTENDING SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA FROM AROUND ALBANY,
GEORGIA TO GULF COUNTY WITH SHOWERS ENDING FOLLOWING ITS PASSAGE
ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE THIS MORNING. THE 12Z TAE SOUNDING INDICATED FAIRLY
STEEP LAPSE RATES FROM 850 TO 700 MB WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES
AROUND 45 KTS. THE LATEST 4KM WRF GUIDANCE HAS INITIALIZED WELL
WITH THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND TRENDS AND INDICATES MOST OF
THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUING EAST TOWARD AND ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR
THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON PERIOD...THEN

AFTERNOON...WITH A CHANCE OF DAMAGING WINDS. LARGE HAIL REMAINS
POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST STORMS..ESPECIALLY EASTERN COUNTIES
AIDED BY DIURNAL HEATING. THE THREAT WILL DIMINISH CONSIDERABLY BY
LATE MORNING AS THE LARGE SCALE FORCING WEAKENS AND THE 850 MB JET
LIFTS WELL NORTH OF THE REGION. 0-60 NW-SE POP GRADIENT. HIGHS

.LONG TERM...
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY) THE DEEP LAYER RIDGE OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS
THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE GFS AND ECMWF
FORECAST THIS COLD FRONT TO MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...BRINGING A CHANCE OF RAIN. GIVEN HOW FAR
OUT IN TIME THIS IS...WE JUST USED THE GFE MOS POP (WHICH ARE IN THE

RELATIVELY COOL AND DRY AIRMASS TO MOVE OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
BEHIND THE FRONT FOR MID WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE
THROUGH MONDAY...THEN COOL TO NEAR OR A BIT BELOW AVERAGE BY MID
WEEK BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

.MARINE...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE AND
SHIFT TO THE WEST ACROSS THE WATERS FROM WEST TO EAST REST OF
OVERNIGHT. SEAS ARE ALREADY AT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS...AND
SHOULD HOLD THERE UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL ALSO SHIFT TO
THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FROM WEST TO EAST TODAY. A
PERIOD OF EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED ON TONIGHT IN THE
OFFSHORE FLOW BEFORE WINDS BECOME LIGHTER ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN REMAIN IN CONTROL TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA FOR THE
WEEKEND AND WILL RESULT IN GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS...OUTSIDE
OF A POSSIBLE EASTERLY SURGE ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.AVIATION...THRU 06Z FRI.
MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM W TO E
OVERNIGHT WITH PERIODS OF IFR POSSIBLE. THE SRN MOST LINES OF
PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY ORGANIZE. DHN WILL GET
INTO THE ACT FIRST WITH MOST OF THE CONVECTION OCCURRING BEFORE
SUNRISE. THE STORMS WILL THEN SPREAD EWD REACHING TLH AND VLD AFTER
10Z AND CONTINUING ON THROUGH MID MORNING. WE DID EXTEND THE TS
CHANCES FURTHER INTO THE MORNING FROM WHAT THE PREVIOUS TAF SET
SHOWED. KEPT IN POTENTIAL 30-KT GUSTS AT DHN AND ABY WITH LOWER TO
THE S AND E. HOWEVER...IF STORMS CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE...HIGHER GUSTS
