    Areas affected...portions of southern GA

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

    Valid 152009Z - 152145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated thunderstorms near a southward-sagging front may
    produce sporadic hail to near 1 inch in diameter and locally gusty
    winds through early evening. A watch is not expected at this time.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms ongoing near a southward-sagging
    boundary will continue into early evening. MUCAPE around 500-1000
    J/kg amid moderate 0-6 km effective shear will support organized
    cells. Most of this activity appears somewhat elevated just to the
    cool side of the surface boundary and forcing across the area is
    expected to remain weak/unfocused. However, RAP forecast soundings
    indicate elongated/straight hodographs and modest midlevel lapse
    rates. This will continue to support sporadic instances of hail to
    near 1 inch in diameter. If any storms can develop ahead of the
    boundary or remain anchored to the front, steep low-level lapse
    rates across southern GA may support strong gusts as well. At this
    time, severe potential/storm coverage is expected to remain low and
    a watch is not expected at this time.
