THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 198 CONTINUES.

THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS...HAIL AND
PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TORNADOES CONTINUES ACROSS WW AREA...NAMELY
ALONG AND E OF A LINE FROM BHM TO RMG.  THIS THREAT MAY EVENTUALLY
SPREAD E OF WW INTO E-CNTRL AL AND NWRN GA...REQUIRING A LOCAL
EXTENSION IN WATCH AREA.

AS OF 2220Z...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED A MULTI-MODE
CONVECTIVE BAND FROM ERN TN SWWD INTO CNTRL AL...WITH MORE DISCRETE
STORMS EXHIBITING SOME SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS OVER POLK CO TN AND
FLOYD CO GA.  FARTHER TO THE SW...SEVERAL COMPLEX STORM-SCALE
INTERACTIONS HAVE RESULTED IN A WAVY CONVECTIVE LINE OF STORMS WITH
EMBEDDED ROTATING UPDRAFTS...ORIENTED FROM NE-SW FROM HALE CO TO ST
CLAIR CO IN AL.  WHILE MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT SWLY LLJ IS
GRADUALLY WEAKENING ACROSS THE REGION...DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S TO
LOWER 60S COUPLED WITH THE PRESENCE OF A LOW-LEVEL THERMAL AXIS
SHOULD SUPPORT THE EWD PROGRESSION OF ONGOING STORMS INTO PORTIONS
OF E-CNTRL AL AND NWRN GA THROUGH 00Z.

ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH THE MORE DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS...NAMELY E AND NE OF BHM WHERE THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS MORE
MOIST AND LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS STRONGER.  OTHERWISE...THE MORE INTENSE
STORMS WILL REMAIN CAPABLE OF LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.
