    Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Mississippi through central
    Alabama and northwest Georgia

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 8...

    Valid 020819Z - 021015Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 8 continues.

    SUMMARY...A substantive further increase in severe weather potential
    appears unlikely, but isolated, occasional thunderstorm
    intensification, which could pose potential to produce a tornado or
    locally damaging wind gusts, remains possible through 3-5 AM CST.

    DISCUSSION...Much of the Southeast remains under the influence of
    larger-scale mid/upper subtropical ridging, and recent warm sector
    thunderstorm development is struggling to maintain substantive
    intensity while remaining confined to a narrow corridor immediately
    ahead of an initial weak cold frontal zone. With the primary
    surface frontal wave development currently ongoing near/east of the
    northern Mid Atlantic coast region, the tail end of the core of
    stronger (50+ kt around 850 mb) southwesterly low-level wind fields
    are in the process of shifting northeastward to the lee of the
    southern Appalachians. As this continues, a gradual weakening of
    low-level flow across the eastern Gulf Coast states appears likely
    through daybreak.

    However, in the presence of seasonably high moisture content
    (including surface dew points near 70F), low-level hodographs
    immediately ahead of the front may remain sizable with at least some
    clockwise curvature through the 09-11Z time frame. This may
    continue to support a conditional risk for the evolution of
    supercell structures with the potential to produce tornadoes, as the
    front gradually advances southeastward across northwestern Georgia,
    central Alabama and southeastern Mississippi, in tandem with perhaps
    some suppression of the ridging at mid-levels.
