Areas affected...portions of far eastern Georgia into central and
southern South Carolina

Concerning...Tornado Watch 679...

Valid 102052Z - 102215Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 679 continues.

SUMMARY...Isolated tornadoes will remain a concern through the rest
of the afternoon. A strong tornado still cannot be ruled out.

DISCUSSION...At least 2 supercell structures embedded within the
primary confluence zone along the GA/SC have been tornadic, with
multiple tornadoes observed. Other storm structures in the
confluence band have attempted to organize into supercells south of
Screven County GA, but have failed to produce notable low-level
rotation so far based on KCLX radar data. Despite the seemingly
downward convective trends, the parent confluence band continues to
progress east-northeast toward an ambient airmass characterized by
mid to upper 70s temperatures and dewpoints, yielding over 1500 J/kg
MLCAPE. Furthermore, the CAE and CLX VADs show large, curved
low-level hodographs and 300-500 m2/s2 0-3 km SRH, with around 200
m2/s2 SRH in the 0-1 km layer. This combined buoyancy/low-level
shear profile is highly favorable for additional tornadoes under the
condition that a supercell structure can develop.
