A watch is not expected. DISCUSSION...Temperatures have warmed into the upper 80s F in southeast Georgia early this afternoon. The boundary layer has largely become uncapped and showers/thunderstorms have begun to form within this area of stronger heating with perhaps some additional support from weak pre-frontal convergence. Into southwestern South Carolina, temperatures have also warmed into the low 80s behind early day convection. With additional surface heating, storms should gradually intensify this afternoon as MLCAPE increases to 1000-1500 J/kg. Enhanced mid-level winds (effective shear of around 30 kts) from a trough moving through the southeast will help storms organize. The primary hazard will be isolated damaging wind gusts. The tornado threat with this activity will be low given the veered surface winds and consequent weak low-level SRH. Additional storms along the front will pose a similar threat as they move into the region, though shear parallel to the boundary will likely mean a more linear storm mode. ...Wendt/Hart.. 09/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5aKx1-OWcTZpbG_BXwxTXdtmh1VEthXe5r2rwbuTIFPxNBfYcZFM0imiNRp0NTXOLplGx_eow= NyXDl8xtvIbAsdzDaY$ for graphic product...
