   DISCUSSION...AN OUTER BAND OF STORMS HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS SWRN GA
   WELL NORTH OF IVAN. HOWEVER...THE INTENSE CIRCULATION FROM HURRICANE
   IVAN HAS INCREASED THE LOW/DEEP LAYER SHEAR SUFFICIENTLY FOR THESE
   STORMS TO ROTATE AND PRODUCE TORNADOES AS THE BAND SHIFTS NWWD.
   ALSO...A STRONGER OUTER BAND OF STORMS ALONG THE AL/FL COAST WILL 
   SHIFT NWD THIS EVENING WITH A CONTINUED TORNADO THREAT AS IVAN
   APPROACHES THE COAST.
