While the overall severe threat will remain low, a few damaging downbursts will be possible. DISCUSSION...GOES IR imagery and regional echo top data shows steady intensification of convection near Charlseton, SC associated with a developing sea breeze boundary. Additionally, the early stages of mature convection are noted along a weak arcing confluence band from central SC into east-central GA. Strong insolation downstream of the developing storms has allowed temperatures to warm into the mid 90s within a very moist air mass (mid/upper 70s dewpoints). This has not only eliminated any appreciable inhibition, but has allowed low-level lapse rates to steepen to around 8 C/km and MLCAPE to increase to around 3000 J/kg downstream over southern SC and eastern GA. Flow within the lowest 8 km remains very weak (around 15 knots or less) per regional VWPs, which will limit storm organization and longevity. However, focused thunderstorm initiation along the confluence zone and/or sea breeze should promote cold pool consolidation and the emergence of a handful of weak convective clusters that will migrate into the regional CAPE maximum by late afternoon. As this occurs, convective intensity should increase with an attendant rise in the probability for damaging to severe downburst winds (most likely between 45-60 mph) through early evening. Such downbursts will likely remain sufficiently isolated to preclude watch issuance. ...Moore/Smith.. 07/22/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8nxrExB6GSEKNVKhEGKYbKO51T3fILXf1y_K6U8FzZzs0ADsp9zS6iFafS1kE5OFvn83kI-_9= F_SftmhtUkck5jcgPo$ for graphic product...
