   Areas affected...Eastern Florida Panhandle and North
   Florida...southern/eastern Georgia...central South Carolina

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 29...

   Valid 062129Z - 062330Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 29 continues.

   SUMMARY...The potential for discrete storms ahead of the ongoing
   convective line in WW 29 will diminish with time. The primary threat
   will be damaging wind gusts for the remainder of the afternoon into
   the evening. Strong low-level shear and modest clockwise hodograph
   curvature will support the potential for a few tornadoes within the
   line, but these should be relatively brief in nature.

   DISCUSSION...Numerous showers and weak thunderstorms have made
   attempts to intensify ahead of the main line of convection from
   southwest Georgia into central South Carolina. With daytime heating
   slowly diminishing in areas with more broken cloud cover and
   large-scale forcing gradually shifting northward, the potential for
   discrete activity ahead of the convective line looks low. Strong
   low-level wind fields and linear storm mode will continue to pose a
   threat for damaging wind gusts, particularly where any mesoscale
   bowing segments can develop. Low-level shear is still strong across
   the region which, despite marginal buoyancy and unfavorable storm
   mode, will support a few brief tornadoes within the convective line.
