   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 3 CONTINUES.
   
   THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ALONG A BROKEN LINE EXTENDING FROM SERN LA
   NEWD TO FAR NWRN GA...JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.  WHILE
   INSTABILITY REMAINS A LIMITING FACTOR -- PER LATEST OBJECTIVE
   ANALYSES AND LIMITED LIGHTNING BEING OBSERVED ATTM -- SHEAR REMAINS
   MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR STORM ORGANIZATION AND LOW-LEVEL ROTATION. 
   INDEED...STRONGER UPDRAFTS ALONG THE CONVECTIVE LINE CONTINUE TO
   EXHIBIT TRANSIENT ROTATION...AND EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE OVER THE
   NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.  ALONG WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR
   LOCALLY-DAMAGING GUSTS...ISOLATED TORNADOES REMAIN POSSIBLE.
