    Areas affected...central Georgia into South Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 030411Z - 030645Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...At least some severe potential may evolve over the next
    several hours across parts of central Georgia and into South
    Carolina. The need for a WW is uncertain at this time, but we will
    continue to closely monitor.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a band of persistent convection
    from the Coastal Plain of South Carolina to south-central Georgia
    and far eastern portions of the Florida Panhandle. In the wake of
    this band, the boundary-layer airmass remains at least somewhat
    stable -- particularly into eastern Georgia and South Carolina,
    where widespread/heavy stratiform rain is ongoing.

    However, in response to the advance of the potent upper system
    taking on increasingly negative tilt with time, strong cyclogenesis
    is expected over the next several hours. Per the latest RAP output,
    12mb deepening of the low will occur over the next 6 hours as it
    consolidates over central Georgia and then shifts northeastward into
    the South Carolina Piedmont.=20=20

    Given the dynamic nature of this system and resulting mass response,
    a convective increase is expected -- and indeed is already underway
    across western and northern Georgia. The increasing ascent will aid
    in some steepening of mid-level lapse rates, thus improving the
    thermodynamic environment to some degree. While the lowest 100mb
    will likely remain at best neutral in terms of stability,
    dynamically forced/organized updrafts -- aided by unusually strong
    deep-layer shear -- appear likely.

    Along with conditional potential for strong wind gusts at the
    surface, dependent upon low-level thermodynamic evolution, a wind
    field featuring rapidly veering/increasing flow with height will
    yield 0-1km shear quite supportive of low-level updraft rotation.=20
    While, again, the questionable boundary layer should be at least
    somewhat of a limiting factor, potential for a couple tornadoes
    could also develop over time in addition to the aforementioned wind
    potential.

    At this time, uncertainty remains high, given the
    aforementioned/rather substantial thermodynamic concerns. Current
    expectations are that a WW may not be needed. However, we will
    continue to closely monitor this rapidly evolving scenario.
