Areas affected...northern Florida into the Carolinas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 686...687...

Valid 270446Z - 270645Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 686, 687 continues.

SUMMARY...The environment remains conditionally favorable for
supercells producing tornadoes, primary over southeast Georgia into
South Carolina.

DISCUSSION...Unstable air continues to wrap northwestward ahead of
Helene, with the high theta-e air mass now inland across eastern SC
and GA. Very strong gusts continue into the Jacksonville FL area
within the well-mixed boundary layer where temperatures are in the
80s F. Dewpoints are also averaging 78- 80 F along the coast farther
north.

While severe cell coverage has decreased co*pared to a few hours
ago, conditions remain quite favorable for tornadoes should
additional bands of storms form. This is quite possible through
tonight as low-level flow remains confluent. In addition, the high
dewpoints will easily favor development with relatively minimal
lift. As such, the tornado watch will continue from GA into southern
NC for some time.  Areas to the south into central FL should
eventually see a waning threat as convergence weakens due to the
system pulling rapidly north.
