    Mesoscale Discussion 1559
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1229 PM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of central and southern GA...north
    FL...and southern SC

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 101729Z - 102030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...A tornado watch will be issued by mid afternoon across
    portions of central and southeast Georgia, and perhaps including
    parts of north Florida and southern South Carolina. A tornado
    threat will spread to the northeast as Hurricane Michael tracks
    toward southwest Georgia by early evening, after making landfall
    early this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar imagery suggest a new outer rain
    band may be developing across southeast into south-central GA (from approximately 25 WSW KSSI to 25 WSW KMCN). The combination of high-moisture-content air (surface dew points in the middle 70s) and
    surface heating, given the presence of filtered sunshine through
    high thin cirrus on the northeast periphery of Michael, is resulting
    in moderate instability. Meanwhile, trends in low-level shear per
    VAD profile at Valdosta, GA adjusted for storm motions of embedded
    cells in the rain bands indicated steady strengthening, with 0-1 km
    SRH approaching 300 m2/s2 and 0-1 km shear around 40 kt. This
    strengthening trend is expected to persist through the afternoon and
    evening and expand northward and east some across central and
    eastern GA into adjacent southern SC, and perhaps north FL, as
    Michael tracks toward southwest GA. This high low-level shear
    environment favors an increasing tornado threat and the need for a
    tornado watch to the north and northeast of WW 406.
