    Mesoscale Discussion 0219

    Areas affected...Central/southwest Georgia and the eastern Florida
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 160547Z - 160645Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Gradual destabilization will support a continued threat of
    wind damage and a few tornadoes into central/southwest GA and the
    eastern FL Panhandle through early morning. A new tornado may be
    needed after 06z.

    DISCUSSION...A band of storms with embedded bow/supercell
    characteristics is moving east-northeastward into west central GA,
    with continued storm development farther southwest along a
    confluence zone across southeast AL. The storms are along the
    eastern edge of the richer low-level moisture, but a 70 kt low-level
    jet will result in sufficient moisture transport near/just above the
    surface to maintain the convection for the next several hours.=20
    Given the very strong low-level shear/large hodographs, the
    potential for occasional wind damage and embedded
    circulations/tornadoes will persist. Thus, a new tornado watch will
    likely be needed into central/southwest GA and the eastern FL
    Panhandle after 06z.
