   Areas affected...West-central Georgia

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 110...

   Valid 250102Z - 250200Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 110
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Sporadic wind damage will remain possible with a line of
   thunderstorms moving across central Georgia. A gradual weakening
   trend is expected as this line moves eastward after 10 PM EDT.

   DISCUSSION...The line of clustered supercells has consolidated into
   a squall line as it moves across western GA. Although the hail
   threat has greatly diminished with these storms, sporadic wind
   damage reports have been noted into the Atlanta metro, including a
   76 mph report from ATL. Wind damage will remain possible with this
   line in the near term thanks to strong 50 knot flow within the
   lowest 2 km (per KFFC VWP obs). However, the 00 UTC FFC sounding
   shows limited instability, and the onset of diurnal cooling along
   with residual cold pool air across central GA are further limiting
   factors for this line as it continues east. Recent IR imagery shows
   warming cloud tops, suggesting that gradual weakening is already
   underway. This trend will likely continue through 10 PM EDT, and
   Watch 110 will likely be allowed to expire.
