   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
   OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...AND SOUTHERN
   GEORGIA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated, marginally severe storms are possible early Thursday
   morning in parts of the Florida Panhandle, southeast Alabama, and
   southern Georgia. Damaging winds and brief tornado or two are the
   primary threats.

   ...Synopsis...
   A strong mid-level trough and associated surface low will
   amplify/deepen across the northeast Thursday morning with a trailing
   cold front extending southward along the Appalachians and into
   southeast Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. This front will move
   off the Atlantic Coast by Thursday evening with high pressure
   building in across much of the eastern CONUS in its wake. Meanwhile,
   a strong surface low will approach the northern California/southwest
   Oregon Coast during the day Thursday.

   ...Southeast...
   A line of thunderstorms will be ongoing at the beginning of the
   period from central Georgia and perhaps into South Carolina and
   southern North Carolina to the Florida Peninsula. By 12Z the
   greatest severe weather threat will likely be focused across
   southern Georgia where mid-60s dewpoints are forecast. A strong (50
   knot) low-level jet is forecast to be in place at 12Z, but will
   weaken through the morning as the primary surface low quickly moves
   farther away to the northeast. During this period in the morning
   with a strong low-level jet and ample instability, a threat for
   damaging wind gusts and perhaps a tornado or two will remain. This
   front is expected to move offshore by mid afternoon and thunderstorm
   intensity will likely have likely waned by this time due to the
   weakening forcing. 

   ...Northern California...
   A strong surface low of the northern California coast will result in
   favorable shear across much of central and northern California
   tomorrow. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible across
   much of this region with weak instability present. If any pockets of
   greater (250-500 J/kg) MLCAPE can develop during the day Thursday
   when shear remains strong, a damaging wind gust or tornado is
   possible. However, at this time forecast soundings show the greater
   instability arriving beneath the upper-level low when shear will
   also be reduced. Therefore, given the lack of overlap between
   greater instability and shear, no Marginal Risk was added at this
   time.
