   Areas affected...far southeast Alabama...northern
   Florida...southcentral/southeast Georgia and southern/eastern South
   Carolina

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 8...9...

   Valid 032315Z - 040115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 8, 9
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for tornadoes, damaging winds and isolated
   large hail continues across the remaining valid portions of Tornado
   Watches 8 and 9.  In addition, a new watch may be needed across far
   southeast Georgia and northern Florida prior to 01Z.

   DISCUSSION...Regional radar composite at 23Z shows several
   supercells with strong low-level rotation within the warm sector
   over southern sections of GA and SC and far southeast AL. In
   addition, areas of rotation were also noted within a line of storms
   along the cold front from Lee County GA to Destin FL.  The immediate
   downstream environment will remain favorable for all severe hazards,
   including strong tornadoes from southern SC southwest across
   southern GA and northern FL, where MLCAPE averages 500 to 1000 J/KG
   and westerly deep shear of near 50 kts exists.  Pressure falls of
   2.5 to 3.5 mb/2 hours remain maximized over southern SC and
   east-central GA, and backed low-level winds in this region have
   resulted in 0-1 km SRH in excess of 350 m2/s2.  Thus, a continued
   tornado risk will exist for the next few hours.  

   Across portions of northern FL, storms will exit WW 8 prior to 01Z,
   and a local extension or a new WW will be needed.  This will be
   coordinated with local NWS offices within the hour.
