    Areas affected...Southern Appalachians into eastern Georgia and
    western South Carolina

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

    Valid 191819Z - 192015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing across the southern Appalachians
    are expected to propagate southeastward into eastern Georgia and
    western South Carolina through the afternoon. These storms may pose
    a severe hail/damaging wind threat through late afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Latest GOES visible imagery shows the early signs of
    convective development along and ahead of an outflow boundary
    associated with a dying convective cluster across northern GA and
    and extreme southeast TN/southwest NC. Downstream of this activity, temperatures are warming into the upper 70s and low 80s, which is
    quickly eroding MLCIN and promoting MLCAPE values upwards of 1500
    J/kg to the west of a diffuse baroclinic zone. Thunderstorms will
    likely intensify as they propagate along the boundary to the
    southeast. Along-boundary deep-layer shear on the order of 40-50
    knots will promote storm organization, potentially into a few
    supercells, with an attendant threat for large hail and damaging
    winds. It remains unclear whether storm mode will remain primarily
    cellular with large hail as the predominant threat, or if upscale
    growth into an organized cluster can occur with a more widespread
    wind threat. Regardless, the severe threat is expected to increase
    through the late afternoon hours, and watch issuance is possible if
    convection begins to pose a robust/widespread threat.
