   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 29 continues.

   SUMMARY...Storm mode has become increasing linear along the
   advancing surface boundary within WW 29. Storms ahead of the line
   have only sporadically shown signs of maturation/intensification.
   Damaging wind gusts will likely be the primary threat as this line
   progresses eastward. The greatest tornado threat will be from
   east-central Georgia into south-central South Carolina where a few
   remaining discrete storms exist and low-level flow is more backed.

   DISCUSSION...A line of strong/severe thunderstorms with embedded
   bowing segments continues progress eastward in WW 29. Limited
   surface heating has continued to keep convection from becoming more
   vigorous. In spite of limited buoyancy, several observed wind gusts
   near severe limits have occurred over the last few hours from the
   western Florida Panhandle into central Georgia. Storm mode has
   become markedly more linear with time suggesting that damaging wind
   gusts will be the primary threat during the afternoon/evening. The
   greatest tornado threat will exist from east-central Georgia into
   south-central South Carolina where surface winds are more backed
   nearer the deepening surface flow and a couple storms have remained
   discrete. Farther south, low-level winds are more veered ahead of
   the front. Portions of southeast Georgia have experience greater
   surface heating than surrounding areas. A few showers have attempted
   to intensify in this area, but weak mid-level lapse rates observed
   on the 18Z TLH/JAX soundings have limited their ability to do so.
