A watch issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Efficient boundary-layer heating/destabilization of a moist air mass (upper 60s/lower 70s surface dewpoints) is underway along/east of the southern Appalachians -- where recent surface analysis indicates a slow-moving NNE/SSW-oriented cold front. Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development will continue in the vicinity of the front (aided by orographic lift along the southern Appalachians) and boundary-layer circulations/differential heating zones over the warm sector (where convective inhibition is minimal). A relatively higher concentration of thunderstorm development is possible over parts of GA into SC this afternoon/early evening, where modest large-scale ascent is expected ahead of a midlevel impulse tracking southeastward over the TN Valley. Despite generally weak flow/shear across the region, relatively steep deep-layer lapse rates and the rich low/mid-level moisture will support strong to locally damaging thunderstorm gusts -- aided by water-loading into the well-mixed boundary layer. Severe-gust potential should be greatest with any areas of localized convective clustering/upscale growth. ...Weinman/Kerr.. 09/07/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!61ygVGOYIklJ8okWMOhFeHPmrN-TZsiqWC-3wc6EI3MUygE3-GpSfB_EZglFsBXkoH5f1f7I3= o0Srl74Rqcs9pPcUQM$ for graphic product...
