   Areas affected...Northeast Alabama into North Georgia

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 142053Z - 142300Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...Locally damaging winds may occur with marginally organized
   bands of convection. Storms are expected to weaken around sunset.

   DISCUSSION...A belt of modestly stronger mid-level winds is evident
   on regional VAD data near a weakening trough in the mid Ohio Valley.
   With strong daytime heating of a moist (low 70s F dewpoints)
   airmass, around 2000 J/kg MLCAPE has developed this afternoon. A few
   clusters of storms have become marginally organized this afternoon.
   A recent observed gust of 44 kts at the Rome, GA ASOS suggests
   near-severe/potentially damaging gusts are possible with this
   activity. As daytime heating wanes, storms should gradually decrease
   in intensity by sunset.
