   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PORTIONS OF THE
   FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...

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

   ...Florida Panhandle, southern Alabama, and southern Georgia...
   Much of the severe threat during the forecast period will be driven
   by the eventual northward evolution of Tropical Cyclone Sally. 
   Substantial differences remain in model guidance regarding the
   eventual track of the system, though the general consensus is that
   Sally will drift slowly northward toward the Gulf Coast and then
   eventually accelerate northeastward toward Georgia.  Along and to
   the right of the path, point forecast soundings indicate extreme
   low-level shear that would support rotation in cells and potential
   tornado occurrence.  Meanwhile, the strongest buoyancy (tied to
   mid/upper 70s F dewpoints) will reside nearer the coast through the
   duration of the forecast period.  The attendant tornado threat will
   also be maximized in this region, where 5% tornado probabilities
   have been introduced for this outlook.  Depending on the forward
   speed of Sally, this threat will expand northeastward into southern
   Georgia - most probable in the latter half of the forecast period
   (midday onward).
