   STRONG PV-ANOMALY HAS BECOME NEUTRAL-TILT AND WILL BEGIN EJECTING
   NEWD ACROSS GA/SC AFTER DAYBREAK.  LEADING EDGE OF ASSOCD DEEP
   ASCENT HAS CAUGHT UP WITH THE SFC LOW/CDFNT OVER CNTRL GA AS OF 09Z
   AND CONVECTION HAS DEEPENED/STRENGTHENED SW OF KDHN.  STRONGER CELLS
   HAVE BECOME ORIENTED NORMAL TO THE UNIDIRECTIONAL VERTICAL SHEAR AND
   TAKEN ON A MINI BOW ECHO CHARACTERISTICS.  CURRENT RUC FCST
   SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT ACTIVITY MAY BE ROOTED A FEW HUNDRED METERS
   ABOVE THE GROUND...BUT SUFFICIENTLY CLOSE TO POSE AT LEAST AN ISOLD
   DMGG WIND THREAT ONCE COLD POOLS BECOME ESTABLISHED.  HAIL WILL ALSO
   BE A RISK AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT BEGIN TO DECREASE WITH TIME. 
   CURRENT EXTRAPOLATION SUGGESTS THAT TSTMS WILL REACH THE SAVANNAH
   RVR NEAR/S OF AUG/WAYNESBORO AROUND 1030-11Z.  BY THEN...TENDENCY
   FOR THE SFC LOW TO DEVELOP ESEWD TOWARD THE INCREASING PRESSURE
   FALLS OFF THE SERN GA CST WILL PULL THE WEDGE FRONT OVER CNTRL
   SC/NERN GA SWD AND ACTIVITY SHOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY ELEVATED. 
   HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR SVR WEATHER WILL EXIST WITH THE PRE-FRONTAL
   TROUGH ACROSS CSTL SECTIONS OF GA THROUGH DAYBREAK.
