   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 617
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Wind/hail threat continues with convection across
   northeast MS, northern AL, and northwest GA. Some consideration for
   a new WW into northwest GA is warranted.

   DISCUSSION...Scattered supercells continue across the northern Gulf
   States from northeast MS into northern AL along the southern fringe
   of seasonally strong mid-level flow. Early-day MCS that developed
   over southeast MO/northeast AR has propagated downstream into
   northwest GA/southeast TN which is reinforcing the baroclinic zone
   currently established across northern AL. Most unstable air mass
   extends into this zone with modest buoyancy as far northeast as
   northwest GA. Given the strong westerly flow at mid levels it
   appears this activity should continue for some time, likely
   propagating into northwest GA over the next few hours. Large hail
   and wind remain possible with these storms.
