A new tornado may be needed after 06z. DISCUSSION...A band of storms with embedded bow/supercell characteristics is moving east-northeastward into west central GA, with continued storm development farther southwest along a confluence zone across southeast AL. The storms are along the eastern edge of the richer low-level moisture, but a 70 kt low-level jet will result in sufficient moisture transport near/just above the surface to maintain the convection for the next several hours.=20 Given the very strong low-level shear/large hodographs, the potential for occasional wind damage and embedded circulations/tornadoes will persist. Thus, a new tornado watch will likely be needed into central/southwest GA and the eastern FL Panhandle after 06z. ...Thompson/Smith.. 03/16/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!990n0Z6DxP-edctS7xWp53oEm-ClSLXNqCJ-NX53TJPgM6NqhwD5bG1qYTjkgQiNTJhzmGmgW= nh244v5n1DP1cPV3Kg$ for graphic product...
