   Areas affected...northern Alabama into southern Tennessee

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 23...

   Valid 060033Z - 060230Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 23 continues.

   SUMMARY...A line of storms may produce localized damage over parts
   of far northern Alabama into southern Middle Tennessee.

   DISCUSSION...Radar shows a QLCS moving east along the AL/TN border,
   coincident with the surface low and on the northern fringe of the
   instability plume. Shear is quite strong, and favorable for both
   damaging winds or even a brief tornado. This line of storms is
   eventually expected to outrun the better instability, as surface
   observations show relatively cool air over northern GA. Before this
   occurs, isolated severe gusts may reach parts of southeastern TN or
   northwest GA.
