   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 332...

   VALID 011935Z - 012030Z

   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 332 CONTINUES.

   SUMMARY...COLD FRONT WILL SPREAD INTO THE WRN PORTIONS OF WW 332

   SHORTLY WITH AN INCREASED RISK FOR SEVERE TSTMS.  PRE-FRONTAL

   ISOLATED SUPERCELLS SHOULD LINGER ALONG ERN EDGE OF WW 332.

   DISCUSSION...FRONTAL CONVECTION IS PROGRESSING EWD AT ROUGHLY

   25-30KT AND IS CRESTING THE APPALACHIANS AS IT MOVES INTO THE WRN

   PARTS OF WW 332.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY INCREASE IN INTENSITY AS

   IT APPROACHES CNTRL PORTIONS OF THE WATCH DUE TO MORE FAVORABLE

   THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY 1500-2000 J/KG MUCAPE. 

   GIVEN THE CURRENT SPEED OF THE COLD FRONT IT SHOULD APPROACH THE

   ERN-MOST PART OF THE WATCH AROUND 23-00Z TIME FRAME.  TORNADO THREAT

   REMAINS HIGHEST WITH PRE-FRONTAL SUPERCELLS.
