   Areas affected...central GA

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 8...

   Valid 032051Z - 032115Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 8 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornadic storms with potential tornadic wind speeds
   100-140mph are possible with the Twiggs County supercell.

   DISCUSSION...KFFC radar imagery indicates rotational velocity values
   between 45-60 kt with an environment supportive of tornadic
   supercells.  Experimental tornado damage intensity guidance is
   suggestive of wind speeds between 100-140mph.  Downstream of this
   storm, expecting little to no storm-scale interference in the near
   term in a strong low-level shear environment.  As other storms over
   south-central GA move north into the warm frontal zone over central
   GA, the tornado potential will probably increase.
