Mesoscale Discussion 0265

Areas affected...Parts of southern/central GA into far northern FL

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 161001Z - 161130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Monitoring for some increase in severe-storm potential.

DISCUSSION...Along and east of a 40-50 kt southerly low-level jet
(per VWP) extending across parts of GA into SC, broad/weak positive
theta-e advection amid middle/upper 60s boundary-layer dewpoints and
limited inhibition is yielding widely scattered thunderstorm
development. While most of these updrafts have been shallow, a
couple isolated storms in south-central GA have shown signs of
organization and pose a risk of a tornado and locally damaging gusts
in the near term. Given low-level clockwise hodograph curvature and
the rich boundary-layer moisture, there is some potential for
additional intensification within this corridor. However, the
weak/unfocused forcing for ascent limits confidence in this
scenario, and the need for a watch is uncertain (though trends are
being monitored).
