   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF   
   SOUTHERN GEORGIA INTO NORTH AND WEST-CENTRAL FLORIDA...   
      
   ...SUMMARY...   
   Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this afternoon and   
   evening across parts of southern Georgia into north and west-central   
   Florida. Both damaging winds and a few tornadoes may occur.   
      
   ...Southeast...   
   A mature mid-level cyclone evident in water vapor and visible   
   satellite imagery late this morning over MS/AL will continue to move   
   quickly eastward across the central Gulf Coast States this   
   afternoon, eventually reaching the Atlantic Coast later this   
   evening. Latest surface analysis shows a weak low over northern MS   
   and greater dewpoints present over the northeast Gulf, as strong   
   low-level warm advection contributes to moisture transport ahead of   
   an ongoing line of thunderstorms across the FL Panhandle and   
   southwest GA.   
      
   This pre-frontal band of convection is gradually strengthening late   
   this morning, even with modest mid-level lapse rates and saturated   
   profiles through much of the troposphere limiting updraft strength.   
   Boundary-layer instability will gradually increase downstream across   
   north FL/southern GA this afternoon as filtered daytime heating and   
   some increase in low-level moisture occurs (surface dewpoints rising   
   through the upper 50s to low/mid 60s). Peak MLCAPE may reach values   
   of 500-1000 J/kg per consensus of 12Z guidance.   
      
   With ample low-level and deep-layer shear associated with the   
   mid-level cyclone present over the developing warm sector, organized   
   convection mainly in the form of an eastward-moving QLCS is expected   
   to persist through the afternoon/evening as this activity moves   
   across north FL/southern GA. The northern extent of the severe risk   
   into southern/central GA/SC remains uncertain due to weak   
   instability forecast across these areas, but some guidance suggests   
   additional strong convection may develop across these areas in   
   closer proximity to cooler temperatures aloft with the upper trough.   
      
   Given the expected strength of the low/mid-level flow and related   
   shear, scattered damaging winds and a few embedded tornadoes are   
   possible wherever this line can become/remain surface based. The   
   Slight Risk has been expanded southward to include more of the   
   west-central FL Peninsula based on expectations for the broken line   
   to impact this region amid greater low-level moisture/instability   
   and sufficient deep-layer shear for organized convection. For more   
   details on the near-term severe threat across parts of the FL   
   Panhandle and southwest GA, reference Mesoscale Discussion 85.
