[html]MD 1677 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR NORTHERN GEORGIA INTO EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA

Mesoscale Discussion 1677
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1252 PM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024
Areas affected...Northern Georgia into eastern South Carolina
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 181752Z - 181945Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated reports of damaging winds are possible across
northern Georgia into eastern South Carolina and portions of
southwestern North Carolina.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage has increased across portions of
northern Georgia, southwestern North Carolina, and eastern South
Carolina, as convective temperature has been reached across much of
the area. Precipitable water values approaching the 90th percentile
for the region, coupled with meager vertical shear of only 20 kts,
will result in a localized threat for water loaded updrafts
collapsing into downbursts capable of severe winds. Overall
convective organization is expected to remain low, though some
loosely organized bowing convective segments are possible where
outflow interactions are favorable. This convective activity will
then diminish after sunset.
