    Mesoscale Discussion 2160

    Areas affected...Southeast Georgia into southwest South Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 171745Z - 171945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts (45-60 mph) are possible this
    afternoon as storm coverage and intensity gradually increases. A
    watch is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Temperatures have warmed into the upper 80s F in
    southeast Georgia early this afternoon. The boundary layer has
    largely become uncapped and showers/thunderstorms have begun to form
    within this area of stronger heating with perhaps some additional
    support from weak pre-frontal convergence. Into southwestern South
    Carolina, temperatures have also warmed into the low 80s behind
    early day convection. With additional surface heating, storms should
    gradually intensify this afternoon as MLCAPE increases to 1000-1500
    J/kg. Enhanced mid-level winds (effective shear of around 30 kts)
    from a trough moving through the southeast will help storms
    organize. The primary hazard will be isolated damaging wind gusts.
    The tornado threat with this activity will be low given the veered
    surface winds and consequent weak low-level SRH. Additional storms
    along the front will pose a similar threat as they move into the
    region, though shear parallel to the boundary will likely mean a
    more linear storm mode.
