This threat should remain relatively brief/isolated; watch issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Deep convection is rapidly developing from south-central GA into portions of SC within a weak low-level confluence zone and along a strengthening sea-breeze boundary. This comes as temperatures quickly warm into the low 90s within a very moist environment. Morning guidance has largely displayed a 3-5 F cool and dry bias across the region so far today, which has resulted in initiation slightly earlier than anticipated as well as SBCAPE values upwards of 4000-5000 J/kg. Observed dewpoint depressions on the order of 15 F suggest that LCLs are likely at around 1 km AGL with near-surface lapse rates on the order of 7-8 C/km. This combination of extreme buoyancy atop a shallow low-level dry-adiabatic layer should promote strong, water-loaded downdrafts capable of damaging/severe downburst winds (most likely between 40-60 mph) through late afternoon. Very weak flow over the region (generally less than 15 knots per regional VWPs) will favor disorganized multicells with limited duration. Consequently, the short-range predictability and coverage of damaging winds will remain limited and precludes watch issuance. ...Moore/Mosier.. 07/09/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6L3mEgE6XhZXvB0llnpmm2Ql7BTn-_rHpymmkitJNeA84g9dHppY5soy2ZoEoAbnKlF9qysII= WvRlA140GaOiHYj-YM$ for graphic product...
