    Areas affected...Southern Georgia...northern Florida and adjacent
    portions of the Southeast

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 435...

    Valid 020527Z - 020700Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 435 continues.

    SUMMARY...Convective development, including supercells with some
    risk for a tornado, remains possible, perhaps mainly across far
    southeastern Alabama into southwestern Georgia (roughly from Dothan
    AL to Albany GA) through 1-2 AM EST. Thereafter, continuing severe
    weather potential becomes more uncertain, and it is not clear
    another watch will be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Confluent, 30-50 kt southwesterly 850 mb flow persists
    off the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, through northern Florida,
    southeastern Alabama and southern Georgia. This is maintaining an
    influx of seasonably moist and unstable air, which continues to
    support considerable thunderstorm development.

    Convection appears mostly rooted within isentropic ascent above at
    least a shallow rain-cooled surface-based air mass. The southern
    edge of this air mass has slowly advected farther inland this
    evening, and is now generally near/north of the northern
    Florida/Florida Panhandle border. This is beneath the supporting
    zone of strongest upper-level difluence/divergence, which the latest
    Rapid Refresh suggests will continue gradually shifting
    northeastward into the Carolinas through 06-08z.

    As this occurs, mid/upper support for continuing convective
    development across the eastern Gulf coast region becomes more
    unclear. It is possible that any lingering severe threat may
    maximize during the 06-07Z time frame across parts of far
    southeastern Alabama into southwest Georgia, coupled with the inland
    advecting unstable boundary layer, on the southeastern periphery of
    the broad surface cyclone centered over the lower Missouri Valley.
