PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1213 PM CST MON JAN 02 2006

VALID 021813Z - 030215Z

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST US
LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS OVER PARTS
OF THE SOUTHEAST US LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

       SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA
       CENTRAL AND EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE
       CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA
       SOUTHERN...CENTRAL AND EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA

SURROUNDING THE MODERATE RISK AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN FLORIDA NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND TENNESSEE VALLEY REGION TO SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF INDIANA AND OHIO...AND ALSO...OVER MUCH OF THE REST OF
THE CAROLINAS AND GEORGIA.

THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE IN TWO PARTS COVERING THE
MODERATE RISK AREA.

FIRST...A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS NOW IS CAUSING OCCASIONAL SEVERE
WEATHER FROM THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
GEORGIA...TO SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE
EASTWARD TOWARD THE ATLANTIC COAST OF GEORGIA AND SOUTH
CAROLINA...AND ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST OF NORTHERN FLORIDA.  THESE
STORMS CAN SPAWN LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WIND...AS WELL
AS A FEW TORNADOES.

SECOND...BEHIND THE INITIAL THUNDERSTORM LINE...MORE ACTIVITY SHOULD
DEVELOP THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT.  THE AIR MASS OVER
PARTS OF EASTERN ALABAMA AND WESTERN GEORGIA ALREADY IS BECOMING
UNSTABLE WITH ENOUGH WIND SHEAR TO SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. 
THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD SHIFT EASTWARD TOWARD THE ATLANTIC COAST
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BRINGING A SECOND ROUND OF HAIL...WIND
AND TORNADO POTENTIAL.

OVER THE NORTHERN LOBE OF THE SLIGHT RISK AREA...ANOTHER LINE OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NEAR A COLD FRONT WILL PRODUCE MAINLY DAMAGING
GUSTS AND OCCASIONAL HAIL AS IT MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS
INDIANA...KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE.

THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER
SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER
RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
