   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 64...
   
   VALID 270310Z - 270415Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 64 CONTINUES.
   
   AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT REMAINS POSSIBLE OVER WW 64.
   
   LATE EVENING SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND OBJECTIVE ANALYSES INDICTED A
   WEDGE OF HIGHER THETAE REMAINS OVER THE LOWER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY
   OF EAST CENTRAL GA.  THIS COMBINED WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR
   REMAINING SUFFICIENT /35-45 KT/ FOR ORGANIZED STORMS SUGGESTS THE
   STORM ENTERING WW 64 IN SRN JENKINS/NRN BULLOCH COUNTIES MAY YET
   POSE A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.  HOWEVER...DESPITE RECENT TRENDS IN
   REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING LOW LEVEL ROTATION WITH THIS
   PARTICULAR STORM...WEAKENING INSTABILITY WITH EWD EXTENT MAY LIMIT
   THE OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THIS STORM...BUT WILL NEED TO
   BE MONITORED.
   
   OTHERWISE...RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST THE SRN EXTENT OF WW 64 /AT LEAST 1
   TIER OF COUNTIES/ SHOULD NO LONGER HAVE A SEVERE WEATHER
   THREAT...WHILE THE NRN EXTENT MAY HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR STRONGER
   STORMS TO ENTER THAT AREA FROM THE NW /ACTIVITY IN WW 66/.
