   Mesoscale Discussion 0276
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1120 AM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020

   Areas affected...parts of east-central and northestern GA and into
   SC

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 311620Z - 311745Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Risk for locally gusty/damaging winds is expected to
   increase as storms move rapidly eastward across northern GA.  A
   severe thunderstorm watch is being considered.

   DISCUSSION...Despite a dearth of instability, a coherent, arcing
   band of storms is moving rapidly eastward across the northern half
   of Georgia at 50 to 55 kt.  With very strong flow aloft
   (west-southwesterlies near 50 kt at 3km), expect the rapid storm
   movement to continue to contribute to areas of local wind damage
   with the low-topped band of convection, despite the weakly buoyant
   environment across the area, near and north of the west-to-east warm
   front.
