   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
   ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE INTO SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few tornadoes associated with Tropical Cyclone Sally are possible
   across portions of the Florida Panhandle, northern Florida,
   southeastern Alabama, and southwestern Georgia.

   ...Tropical Cyclone Sally...

   Sally continues its very slow north-northeast motion toward the
   AL/FL Panhandle border region. Early this morning, northern portion
   of the eye was roughly 15 mi offshore and stronger convective bands,
   with more discrete supercells, are beginning to rotate inland with
   higher-buoyancy air mass. Latest trends/model guidance suggest the
   center of Sally should gradually move inland across the western FL
   Panhandle into southeast AL by the end of the period. This movement
   should allow mid 70s surface dew points to spread a bit farther
   north which should result in higher instability into portions of
   southwestern GA than earlier indicated. Will extend 5% tornado
   probabilities about 50 mi farther north to account for the more
   inland position by 17/12z.
