Areas affected...parts of central and northern Alabama to
northwestern Georgia

Concerning...Tornado Watch 104...

Valid 011118Z - 011245Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 104 continues.

SUMMARY...Local risk for strong downdrafts, and a brief tornado,
will continue over the next 1 to 2 hours.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar data continues to show a gradual decrease
in convective intensity/organization overall.  However, CAPE/shear
combination across the region remains sufficient, which will likely
support continued/local risk for strong gusts and/or a brief tornado
with occasional ramp-ups in the organization/intensity of updrafts
locally.

At this time, we expect that WW issuance will not be needed
northeast of WW 104, but will continue to monitor evolution of the
environment, for any signs of renewed/greater potential.
