    Areas affected...Eastern Alabama into western Georgia and parts of
    the Florida Panhandle

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

    Valid 160002Z - 160200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Downstream watch issuance across western Georgia, eastern
    and southeast Alabama, and parts of the Florida Panhandle is
    expected before 01 UTC as severe storms spread east.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar mosaics show the most intense/organized
    convection across central AL extending southwestward into far
    southeast MS. Per recent MCD #213, the expectation is that this
    activity will continue to pose a severe wind and tornado risk
    heading into the late evening hours as it spreads east/northeast.
    Recent HRRR-based SSCRAM and WoFS guidance suggest that areas of
    eastern AL will see an uptick in the severe threat by 01-03 UTC with
    western GA and parts of the FL Panhandle between 02-05 UTC. These
    solutions also show a convective environment characterized by STP
    values between 2-4 will spread east with time and will continue to
    support the potential for long-track/significant tornadoes, as well
    as damaging/severe wind gusts (possibly as high as 60-70 mph). Watch
    issuance will likely be needed before 01 UTC to address this
    potential and will replace WW 46.
