Areas affected...parts of southern Tennessee and northern
Alabama...and into northwestern Georgia

Concerning...Tornado Watch 51...

Valid 020409Z - 020545Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 51 continues.

SUMMARY...Local risk for severe weather continues across northern
Alabama and adjacent southern Middle Tennessee, within WW 51.  With
some risk possibly existing east of the existing watch, we are
monitoring parts of southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia
for possible/new WW issuance.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows strong thunderstorms crossing
Tornado Watch 51 at this time, including intense/rotating storms
across Madison County AL and Franklin/Marion County AL.  As the
low-level jet veers with time, expect ongoing storms to persist for
at least another couple of hours, and given the fairly homogeneous
airmass just east of the WW into the southern Appalachians as in
areas farther west, some severe threat may expand into these areas,
possibly warranting new WW issuance.
