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

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated damaging wind gusts or a brief/weak tornado may occur this
   afternoon from far southern Georgia into northern Florida.

   Only minor changes were made to the previous outlook, removing
   marginal risk probabilities behind the cold front. Otherwise,
   favorable deep-layer shear combined with weak instability over land
   may yet yield an isolated severe report over land this afternoon.
   For updated information about northern Florida, see mesoscale
   discussion 1971.

   ...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.
