   Mesoscale Discussion 0730
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1225 PM CDT Thu May 09 2024

   Areas affected...South GA

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 217...218...

   Valid 091725Z - 091900Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 217, 218 continues.

   SUMMARY...Primary tornado threat appears to be peaking with a pair
   of supercells embedded within a linear cluster spreading into south
   Georgia. Damaging wind potential should increase into late
   afternoon. An additional tornado watch is likely to the south of the
   existing tornado watches.

   DISCUSSION...A pair of supercells, that are becoming absorbed into
   the large-scale convective outflow surging south-southeast, have
   recently intensified in central GA. With weaker and more veered
   low-level flow with southern extent downstream, the tornado threat
   may be peaking during the next hour or two. Still, with surface
   temperatures warming through the mid 80s to low 90s, moderate
   buoyancy characterized by MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg should support an
   increasing damaging wind threat across parts of south GA as the
   cluster moves southeastward.
