  URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 100
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   130 PM EDT Wed Apr 6 2022

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Central Georgia

   * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 130 PM
     until 1000 PM EDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes possible
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 75 mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage and
   intensity across central Georgia this afternoon. All severe hazards
   will be possible with these storms, including tornadoes.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 85 miles south southwest of Macon GA to
   50 miles north northeast of Macon GA. For a complete depiction of
   the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU0).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.

   &&

   AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
   surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
   gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean
   storm motion vector 24030.

   ...Mosier/Grams

Well that's not the way you want to start today's event

 

Sheesh... I was thinking MAYBE up to 13k based on using higher tilts. I needa get better at using cross section. I can almost never get the debris plume.

   Mesoscale Discussion 0427
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0302 PM CDT Wed Apr 06 2022

   Areas affected...Portions of eastern GA into SC

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 062002Z - 062130Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...A threat for large hail, damaging winds, and isolated
   tornadoes should increase over the next couple of hours. Watch
   issuance is likely.

   DISCUSSION...The airmass across eastern GA into much of central and
   coastal SC continues to destabilize this afternoon. Surface
   temperatures have generally increased into the low/mid 80s
   along/south of a differential heating zone, with dewpoints remaining
   in the upper 60s to low 70s. Related MLCAPE ranges from 2000-2500
   J/kg, aided by steepened mid-level lapse rates evident on upstream
   18Z observed soundings. Deep-layer shear of 30-40 kt will promote
   some storm organization, with a mix of supercells and multicells
   possible (similar to what is already occurring in southern/central
   GA). Given the ample buoyancy available, large hail will be a
   concern with any supercells. Damaging winds would also be a threat
   with multicellular convection. Although the low-level flow is not
   forecast to become very strong this afternoon/evening, enough
   veering/strengthening of the winds in the boundary layer should
   exist to foster some low-level rotation within the strongest
   updrafts. Accordingly, isolated tornadoes appear possible. With the
   severe threat expected to gradually increase over the next couple of
   hours as storms approach this region from the west, watch issuance
   will likely be needed.
