Valid 181418Z - 181615Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 285 continues. SUMMARY...A corridor of severe wind potential may extend southeast of WW 285, with isolated hail over southern areas. A new watch may be needed downstream soon. DISCUSSION...An organized convective system continues to move rapidly southeastward over west-central GA. This system is near the instability gradient, with extends all the way to the coast. The morning soundings show substantial mid level winds along with good lapse rates aloft and relatively weak low-level winds. This appears favorable for forward propagation and continued damaging wind threat for a few hours. In addition, given that the strongest instability is on the southern periphery of this convective system, at least a gradual increase in storm cores is possible along the south end which may also contain large hail, especially as boundary layer heating occurs. ...Jewell.. 05/18/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6aNbCG4-yVqScKkQPM-WfhrOwQrJqwl6IOMtWvXk2SV6LDqQLcJKu0UJFCrFyGC0YQubss_cZ= 6IWHq2g4FMeKmVyBjE$ for graphic product...
