MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0705
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0137 PM CDT SAT MAY 05 2007
   
   AREAS AFFECTED...MUCH OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN GA INTO THE SC COASTAL
   PLAIN
   
   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY 
   
   VALID 051837Z - 052030Z
   
   STRONG STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THROUGH MID/LATE AFTERNOON
   ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN GA INTO THE SC COASTAL PLAIN...WITH
   THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL.
   ISOLATED/MARGINAL NATURE OF THE EXPECTED THREATS SUGGESTS THAT A
   WATCH IS UNLIKELY.
   
   WATER VAPOR IMAGERY FEATURES UPPER LOW DRIFTING SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD
   THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS...WHILE A ROUGHLY NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST
   ARCING FRONT IS ANALYZED ACROSS CENTRAL GA INTO FAR SOUTHERN SC AS
   OF 18Z. GIVEN FURTHER DAYTIME HEATING...SEA BREEZE...AND BACKGROUND
   FORCING FOR ASCENT FROM THE MID LEVEL LOW...THUNDERSTORMS ARE
   EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE WITHIN THIS CORRIDOR THROUGH
   MID/LATE AFTERNOON. ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER
   LOW...SOME ENHANCED MID LEVEL FLOW WAS NOTED ON THE 12Z RAOBS FROM
   NASHVILLE/ATLANTA...WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR OF
   30-35 KT. ALTHOUGH THE PRIMARY HAZARD WILL LIKELY BE ISOLATED
   DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN THE AMBIENT WARM SECTOR SOUTH OF THE
   FRONT...A FEW STORMS DEVELOPING NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY ATTAIN
   BRIEF SUPERCELL STRUCTURES...WHICH COULD ENHANCE LARGE HAIL
   POTENTIAL.
