    Areas affected...South Carolina into far eastern Georgia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 091726Z - 091930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are developing in an environment
    supportive of strong to severe downburst winds. This threat should
    remain relatively brief/isolated; watch issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Deep convection is rapidly developing from
    south-central GA into portions of SC within a weak low-level
    confluence zone and along a strengthening sea-breeze boundary. This
    comes as temperatures quickly warm into the low 90s within a very
    moist environment. Morning guidance has largely displayed a 3-5 F
    cool and dry bias across the region so far today, which has resulted
    in initiation slightly earlier than anticipated as well as SBCAPE
    values upwards of 4000-5000 J/kg. Observed dewpoint depressions on
    the order of 15 F suggest that LCLs are likely at around 1 km AGL
    with near-surface lapse rates on the order of 7-8 C/km. This
    combination of extreme buoyancy atop a shallow low-level
    dry-adiabatic layer should promote strong, water-loaded downdrafts
    capable of damaging/severe downburst winds (most likely between
    40-60 mph) through late afternoon. Very weak flow over the region
    (generally less than 15 knots per regional VWPs) will favor
    disorganized multicells with limited duration. Consequently, the
    short-range predictability and coverage of damaging winds will
    remain limited and precludes watch issuance.
