Areas affected...Southwestern into portions of central Georgia
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 261813Z - 261945Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Probabilities appear fairly low, but the evolution of an
isolated severe storm or two may not be out of the question across
parts of southwestern Georgia, perhaps as far north as the Macon
area, through the 3-5 PM EDT time frame.
DISCUSSION...As a fairly vigorous short wave impulse maintains an
eastward progression through portions of the central Gulf Coast
states, a few thunderstorms have recently initiated across far
southeastern Alabama into southwestern Georgia. This appears on the southernmost periphery of stronger mid-level forcing for ascent,
where the latest Rapid Refresh suggests that a seasonably modest
influx of boundary layer moisture off the Gulf of Mexico is
supporting weak CAPE on the order of 500 J/kg.
Generally south of the mid-level cold core of the system, forecast
soundings indicate that capping mid/upper-level layers may remain
problematic to sustained vigorous thunderstorm activity. However, a
window of opportunity may still exist for an isolated intensifying
storm or two across parts of southwestern into central Georgia
through about the 20-21Z time frame, before the mid-level wave
begins to pivot northeastward toward the southern Appalachians. If
this occurs, it will do so in a strongly sheared environment (near a
50-60+ kt 500 jet) capable of supporting supercell structures and at
least some severe weather potential before encountering a more
stable low-level environment across central Georgia.
