    Mesoscale Discussion 0811
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0229 PM CDT Thu Jun 21 2018

    Areas affected...Far Eastern Alabama...Northern Georgia...and
    Western South Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 211929Z - 212100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind gusts are possible this afternoon
    as storms develop and move northeastward.

    DISCUSSION...Surface heating south of the expansive cloud shield in
    Tennessee and Kentucky has led to moderate destabilization (~1500
    J/kg) across eastern Alabama and northern Georgia. Storms developed
    in this area ahead of an approaching shortwave trough. Unseasonably
    strong flow (greater than 40 knots above 3 km via BMX VWP) across
    this area has led to some multicell organization of these storms.
    Given the continued destabilization of the downstream airmass and aforementioned stronger flow, expect storms to continue through the
    afternoon with isolated stronger cells. Given the weak mid-level
    lapse rates (~ 6 C/km via 12Z BMX and FFC RAOB), expect hail threat
    to be limited. However, low-level lapse rates around 7.5 C/km to 8.0
    C/km, per the latest RAP mesoanalysis, may occasionally allow
    stronger winds to mix to the surface with isolated damaging winds
    possible. In addition, precipitation loading in the updraft, given
    the high PWAT airmass (1.75 to 2 inches per BMX and FFC RAOB), may
    also increase the chance of wet downbursts. These storms may
    struggle as they enter central South Carolina where instability
    decreases due to a pocket of lower surface dewpoints, however, there
    is still opportunity for this region to destabilize as moisture
    continues to advect towards the area through the afternoon and
    evening.
