   AREAS AFFECTED...SERN AL/WRN FL PANHANDLE/SWRN
   
   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE 
   
   VALID 261912Z - 262015Z
   
   ...THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL THIS AFTN FOR ISOLD SVR TSTMS THIS AFTN.
   THE MAIN THREATS ARE STRONG/SVR WIND GUSTS OR BRIEF TORNADOES...
   
   DEEPLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO BE FAVORABLE FOR
   STRONG/ROTATING UPDRAFTS AS NOTED ON AREA RADARS. OF PARTICULAR
   INTEREST WAS A STORM JUST NORTHEAST OF TOI EXITING NRN BULLOCK CO
   ALABAMA.  THIS CELL HAD EXHIBITED A PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL
   ROTATION...AND EARLIER HAD A REPORT OF FUNNEL CLOUD. ANOTHER
   POTENTIAL CELL IS JUST WEST OF TOI...AT THE NRN BREAK IN THE
   CONVECTIVE LINE SEGMENT. AREA VAD WIND DATA FROM MONTGOMERY AL AND
   ATLANTA IS SUPPORTIVE OF ROTATING CELLS...AND THE MAIN ISSUE THUS
   FAR HAS BEEN THE INSTABILITY. SFC DEWPOINTS DROP OFF INTO 40S/50S IN
   CNTRL/SRN GA...AND APPEARS THE GREATEST THREAT WILL REMAIN ACROSS
   SERN AL AND THE WRN FL PANHANDLE...WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE
   MID/UPPER 60S.
   
   WATCH MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR AREAS WHICH HAVE HEATED UP AHEAD OF THIS
   CONVECTIVE LINE NOW EXTENDING INTO THE WRN FL PANHANDLE.
