   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 244
   CONTINUES.
   
   THREAT FOR ISOLATED HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WILL PERSIST NEXT FEW
   HOURS...MAINLY FROM S-CNTRL AND SE GA THROUGH SERN SC.
   
   SCATTERED MOSTLY MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG
   PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED BOUNDARIES FROM SW THROUGH SE GA
   THROUGH THE ERN CAROLINAS. CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FROM EARLY STORMS HAS
   PERSISTED AND SO FAR LIMITED DESTABILIZATION POTENTIAL OVER MUCH OF
   THE ERN CAROLINAS. HOWEVER...STRONGER DIABATIC HEATING HAS RESULTED
   IN RESERVOIR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY FARTHER WEST ACROSS S CNTRL AND
   SE GA WITH 1500-2000 J/KG MLCAPE. TREND HAS BEEN FOR ACTIVITY
   DEVELOPING OVER S CNTRL AND SE GA TO INTENSIFY THEN SPREAD EAST INTO
   SERN SC. IT APPEARS NEWD ADVECTION OF ANVIL CIRRUS WILL PROBABLY
   CONTINUE TO LIMIT OR DELAY DESTABILIZATION OVER THE NRN HALF OF WW
   244 FROM NE SC THROUGH SE NC NEXT COUPLE HOURS WHERE STRONGER
   KINEMATIC ENVIRONMENT EXISTS.
