    Areas affected...eastern TN...northern GA...and the western
    Carolinas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 221937Z - 222130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage will gradually increase through late
    afternoon. Sporadic strong wind gusts will be possible. A watch may
    be needed at some point, but a more organized severe risk is
    uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...Clusters of thunderstorms over northern AL and Middle
    TN will continue to progress generally east/northeast through the
    remainder of the afternoon. Most of the stronger midlevel flow
    across the region is in the wake of an MCV/outflow boundary
    extending from Middle TN into northwest AL, leaving generally weak
    vertical shear across northern GA/eastern TN and the western
    Carolinas. Nevertheless, a warm and moist airmass resides across the
    area, resulting in moderate instability. Transient
    multicells/clusters may produce sporadic strong/locally damaging
    gusts. If a more organized cluster/bowing complex can develop
    upstream closer to the MCV and move into this area late this
    afternoon/early evening, some increased risk for damaging winds may
    develop. A more organized severe risk and the need for a severe
    thunderstorm watch is uncertain. Trends will be monitored.
