Showers and storms developed ahead of the main squall line across GA and as the storms interacted with the sea breeze and outflows, they became severe. SE GA had the highest chance of severe storms where CAPE was near 2000 J/kg,

bulk shear was 50-60 kts, and sfc-3 km storm relative helicity was 200-300 m2/s2. A Tornado Watch was issued for all of SE GA and the adjacent nearshore Atlantic waters.
