   VALID 261932Z - 262030Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 379
   CONTINUES.
   
   THREAT FOR SUPERCELLS WILL INCREASE DOWNSTREAM OF INITIAL WW 379
   ACROSS PORTIONS OF WRN NC/SC AND NERN GA. EXTENSION OF THE WW HAS
   BEEN COORDINATED WITH WFO GSP. 
   
   AS OF 1930Z...THE MOST INTENSE TSTMS WITHIN WW 379 WERE LOCATED FROM
   SEVIER COUNTY TN TO GILMAN COUNTY GA...WHERE REPORTS OF
   BASEBALL-SIZED HAIL OCCURRED EARLIER WITH A SUPERCELL TRACKING
   ACROSS GILMAN COUNTY. 0-6 KM SHEAR AOA 40 KT SHOULD REMAIN CONFINED
   N OF THE ATLANTA LATITUDE...REMAINING FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELL
   STRUCTURES. DOWNSTREAM DEW POINTS HAD INITIALLY MIXED INTO THE
   MIDDLE 40S AND 50S...BUT APPEAR TO BE RECOVERING WITH MODEST SLY
   LOW-LEVEL FLOW. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST AN ISOLATED THREAT FOR
   SEVERE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS TO GRADUALLY EVOLVE EWD THROUGH 22Z.
