it won't take much to bring down some really strong winds.

Yep that thing means business sweeping through SC into Nc

Yeah if those winds aren't realized in the large-scale stratiform precipitation, they may be with the isolated-scattered tornadoes that will probably be prevalent in that outer band even up through North & South Carolina

I doubt we see much severe weather in this area. Highs in the low sixties. Feels like a cool day with CAD.

What is the timing for us on all this?

I can't decide if whether it's started raining, just lightly or it's just wind whenever the wind picks up...but as of now, the light rain just keeps dissipating as it tries to hit my area going by radar....gonna be a loooonnnnggggg day tomorrow.

Most of us inland that will be affected by Irma (AL, GA and SC) will get the full force of Irma tomorrow. The winds will increase as the night goes on tonight for us inland.

You'd be surprised, if anything the CAD could make the tornado threat worse in portions of NC & SC as individual cells become slightly elevated and attain additional vorticity as they near and latch onto the CAD boundary...
You won't exactly need the traditional parameters. The shear/spin is enough.

Some of the high wind threat isn't really even due to possible severe.
Where will the boundary be??

I don't think there will be many tornadoes in north Georgia. A few can't be ruled out though. Slight chance for tornadoes for southeastern GA and east-central GA.
what would happen if she decided to to the impossible and hook west and get back over the GOM?? just a hypothetical question

The shear and low level vorticity is pretty ridiculous here, even in a stable environment with CAD, this is still a very favorable setup for tornadoes across Georgia (even the northern parts of the state) & the Carolinas because literally any cell that gets going will probably start rotating violently when you have ~500 m2/s2 of SRH & 40-60 knots of bulk shear..
Not much, weaken a little slower perhaps. The transition to extratropical has already begun.
Pretty sure now seeing a NNW movement by radar.
