MD 0438 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0438

0347 PM CDT Mon Apr 07 2025
Areas affected...Central/southeast Georgia
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 072047Z - 072145Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Some increase in convection may be sustained along the
deeper wind shift/cold front, but severe storms appear unlikely.
DISCUSSION...West of the pre-frontal convection, a recent increase
in updraft depth/intensity has occurred across central GA. This
deepening convection appears to be along the deeper wind shift, with
a band of ascent impinging on residual moisture in the wake of
earlier convection. However, the prior convection cooled surface
temperatures, lapse rates are poor, and vertical shear has
weakened/become more unidirectional with time, and shear vectors are
primarily parallel to the line orientation. Thus, the storms are
expected to remain largely sub-severe, and an additional watch or
watch extension appears unnecessary.
