AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NERN FL AND SERN GA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE 

VALID 061942Z - 062145Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...CONVECTION SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS MAY PRODUCE DMGG WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS A FEW
TORNADOES. THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE WW
ISSUANCE.

DISCUSSION...A CONVECTIVE BAND ON THE OUTER/NERN FRINGES OF THE
CYCLONIC ENVELOPE ACCOMPANYING TROPICAL STORM COLIN IS SPREADING
NEWD ACROSS NERN FL...WITH AREAS OF MORE SEMI-DISCRETE CONVECTION
FARTHER S TOWARD VOLUSIA COUNTY. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE
SPREADING NWD/NEWD DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS AMIDST HIGH THETA-E IN
THE BOUNDARY LAYER /PARTLY SUPPORTED BY SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER-MIDDLE 70S/. WITH THE JAX VWP SAMPLING 30-40-KT SLYS IN THE
1-3-KM-AGL LAYER...AND BACKED SFC WINDS N OF A W/E BOUNDARY ANALYZED
ACROSS FAR NERN FL...LOW-LEVEL SHEAR REMAINS SUFFICIENTLY STRONG FOR
BRIEF TORNADOES. LINE-EMBEDDED MESOVORTICES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
DETECTED WITH THE CONVECTIVE BAND APPROACHING THE JACKSONVILLE AREA
BASED ON KJAX RADAR DATA. THE SPATIAL EXTENT OF THE SVR RISK SHOULD
BE LIMITED AS CONVECTION SPREADS TOWARD THE COAST DURING THE NEXT
FEW HOURS...THOUGH CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED
FOR POSSIBLE WW ISSUANCE.
