    Areas affected...North FL into south GA

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 240...

    Valid 140958Z - 141130Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 240 continues.

    SUMMARY...Some threat for isolated damaging wind may spread farther
    into south Georgia and north Florida this morning.

    DISCUSSION...A band of convection that earlier developed along the
    periphery of a weakening MCS is now moving eastward, to the east of
    the Tallahassee area. While this convection is rather vigorous, with
    some cooling cloud tops noted in IR imagery, it remains rather
    disorganized at this time. However, with MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg and
    moderate deep-layer shear across the region, further organization of
    this convective band remains possible with time. If this occurs,
    some threat for damaging wind will spread farther into south GA and
    north FL, especially if the convective band can merge with new
    convection that has recently developed to its immediate south and
    southeast.=20

    The need for short-term watch issuance downstream of WW 240 remains
    uncertain, and will depend on short-term trends regarding intensity
    and organization of the ongoing cluster. Potential remains for an
    upstream cluster of storms (currently over the north-central Gulf of
    Mexico) to eventually move across the area later this morning, which
    could also pose a severe risk.
