Marginally severe hail and gusts up to 50 to 60 mph expected with the strongest thunderstorms. DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations indicate weak confluence from west central South Carolina through north central Georgia. Recent visible satellite imagery has shown an increase in cumulus coverage along this boundary and thunderstorm initiation south of Athens. Some agitated cumulus has also developed along a sea breeze near the southern South Carolina coastline. Surface buoyancy across east central Georgia has slowly increased late this afternoon with sufficient heating. Moderate MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg is present along with effective shear magnitudes near 30-35 kt. Given the aforementioned environment, some storm organization will be possible over the next 1-2 hours with a threat of hail up to 1 inch in diameter. In addition, low level lapse rates/downdraft CAPE near 1000 J/kg will support damaging wind gust potential with any more persistent cores that manage to develop. However, given the weakly forced environment, severe storm coverage is expected to remain fairly limited. ...Barnes/Moore/Smith.. 04/19/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7Ai30ARGqdGmqk0gP6Dv1Kk3mEZKl5KqnjYX7c1plR6A7xuP7-8fndWTml7a1iN2qmLY75Ok3= tVu0HuBCrfSCK7SNLg$ for graphic product...
