SPC MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0310 FOR NRN FL/SE GA/SRN SC
   CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 68...
   
   VALID 010153Z - 010400Z
   
   IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE...WW MAY BE CANCELLED EARLY.
   
   LATEST SATELLITE LOOPS INDICATE STRONGEST MID/UPPER FORCING FOR
   UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION...ASSOCIATED WITH SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTING
   TOWARD THE SOUTHERN ATLANTIC COAST...IS NOW RAPIDLY SPREADING
   ACROSS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.  A GENERAL WARMING OF CLOUD TOPS HAS
   OCCURRED WITH SQUALL LINE PROGRESSING ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND
   NORTHERN FLORIDA...AND WEAKENING TRENDS APPEAR LIKELY TO CONTINUE
   AS STRONGER LIFT/WIND FIELDS BEGIN TO SPREAD AWAY FROM THE EASTERN
   GULF COAST REGION.  UNTIL SQUALL LINE MOVES OFF THE SOUTHERN
   GEORGIA/NORTHERN FLORIDA ATLANTIC COAST...GUSTY WINDS AND SOME HAIL
   REMAIN POSSIBLE IN WARM MOIST ENVIRONMENT WITH CAPE OF 1000 TO 2000
   J/KG...BUT SEVERE THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DIMINISH.
