   AREAS AFFECTED...NRN FL / SERN GA
   
   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 3...
   
   VALID 262000Z - 262100Z
   
   MAIN AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES MOVING EWD ACROSS SRN GA / NRN
   FL TOWARD LESS UNSTABLE AIRMASS.  SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO BE
   DECREASING...ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED THREAT -- PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
   ERN PANHANDLE -- WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS.
   
   COLD FRONT CONTINUES MOVING SLOWLY SWD ACROSS SRN GA...AND MAIN
   CONVECTIVE LINE HAS NOW REACHED THE ERN FL PANHANDLE -- EAST OF AXIS
   OF GREATEST INSTABILITY.  ALTHOUGH SOME INSTABILITY REMAINS ACROSS
   SRN GA / NRN FL EAST OF CONVECTIVE LINE AND SOUTH OF COLD
   FRONT...CONTINUED SWD MOTION OF FRONT AND THE ONSET OF DIURNAL
   AIRMASS STABILIZATION SHOULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN SEVERE THREAT
   WITH TIME.  
   
   THE THREAT FOR A LOCALIZED SEVERE EVENT WILL REMAIN FOR THE NEXT 1
   TO 2 HOURS ACROSS FAR SERN GA / NRN FL SOUTH OF COLD FRONT / EAST OF
   MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE.  HOWEVER...IT APPEARS ATTM THAT FOR THE
   REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY
   LIMITED TO PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL WATCH BEYOND THE
   EXPIRATION OF WW 003.
