    Areas affected...Eastern Alabama into central and southeast Georgia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 011807Z - 012000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing across eastern Alabama into
    central and southeast Georgia will pose a risk of damaging downburst
    winds through late afternoon. The overall severe threat will remain
    too limited to warrant watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Latest GOES imagery and echo top trends show
    intensifying thunderstorms along a weak surface confluence band
    stretching from far southeast AL into southeast GA. Incipient
    thunderstorms are also noted across eastern AL/northwest GA along a
    weak surface cold front. Although forcing for ascent across the
    region remains weak, strong diurnal heating of a weakly capped air
    mass is supporting uninhibited near-surface parcel ascent within
    these zones of modest low-level ascent. Very weak mid and
    upper-level flow over the region will favor a combination of
    short-lived single cells and multi-cell clusters, and will largely
    limit the potential for a more robust severe weather threat.
    However, further heating through late afternoon should allow for
    MLCAPE values to reach 2500-3500 J/kg as well as promote 0-2 km
    lapse rates of around 7-8 C/km. This thermodynamic environment is
    favorable for strong to severe wet downbursts associated with the
    deeper, more intense convective cores. While such downbursts
    typically produce gusts of 40-55 mph, sporadic and isolated
    instances of 60-65 mph winds will be possible - especially if a more consolidated, cold-pool-driven cluster can become establish through
    peak heating.
