    Areas affected...northern Alabama...northern Georgia

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

    Valid 181921Z - 182045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to increase in
    coverage through the afternoon with potential for large hail and
    damaging wind.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite trends show deepening cu across much
    of northern Alabama and Georgia, with a few cells developing over
    the last 30 min to an hour. Thunderstorm development is likely to
    expand southward in coverage across these regions over the next 1-2
    hours as a cold front sags south through time. The air mass ahead of
    the front is characterized by MLCAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg with
    temperatures in the upper 80s - mid 90s and dew points in the low to
    mid 70s. A belt of deep layer shear around 35-40 kts and the moist
    and unstable air mass will support multicell clusters, capable of
    downbursts and instances of severe hail. A watch will likely be
    needed to cover this threat soon.
