   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 62
   CONTINUES.
   
   SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR SVR TSTMS CONTINUES ACROSS THE WW AREA
   
   DISCUSSION...WIDESPREAD TSTMS CONTINUE ACROSS WW 62 AS THE AREA IS
   LOCATED WITHIN A ZONE OF WARM ADVECTION NORTH OF A WARM FRONT. THE
   WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM A SURFACE LOW OVER SWRN AL EASTWARD ACROSS
   NRN FL AND WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH 12Z...LIKELY REMAINING
   SOUTH OF WW THROUGH 12Z. ALTHOUGH SOME SVR THREAT EXISTS ACROSS THE
   ENTIRE WW...THE POTENTIAL IS GREATEST ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF WW AREA
   WHERE EFFECTIVE SHEAR...LAPSE RATES...AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY ARE
   MAXIMIZED. LARGE HAIL WILL REMAIN THE MAIN SVR THREAT...ALTHOUGH
   DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF AREA
   THROUGH 12Z.
