   Areas affected...parts of central and southern Alabama into
   central/southwestern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle

   Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 

   Valid 120404Z - 120430Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...A new tornado watch will likely be issued within the next
   hour downstream of Tornado Watch 48.

   DISCUSSION...The organized convective system will likely begin to
   progress east of the Tornado Watch 48 within the next 1-2 hours.  It
   appears that at least weak continuing destabilization and forcing
   for ascent may maintain it with risk for occasional brief tornadoes
   and damaging wind gusts through at least 10-12Z.
