   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
   OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND NORTHERN FLORIDA....

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated damaging wind gusts or a brief tornado may occur this
   afternoon from northwestern Florida and the eastern Florida
   Panhandle to extreme southern South Carolina.

   ...GA/FL...
   A broad upper trough remains over the eastern CONUS today, with the
   primary trough axis rotating across the central Appalachians into
   the Mid-Atlantic region.  The southern fringes of the stronger
   westerlies extend as far south as north/central FL.  Meanwhile, the
   associated surface cold front is sagging southward across southern
   GA into north FL.  A warm/moist air mass is present ahead of the
   front, where sufficient afternoon CAPE values will promote the
   development of scattered thunderstorms.  Low-level winds are
   strongly veered, limiting convergence and vertical shear in the warm
   sector.  Nevertheless, CAM solutions suggest a few cells will form
   across the MRGL risk area later today.  30+ knot southwesterly winds
   just above the surface may be sufficient to result in locally
   gusty/damaging winds in the strongest cells.  Present indications
   are that the activity will remain rather disorganized.
