Areas affected...North GA into western SC

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 281959Z - 282200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Localized damaging winds will remain possible through the
rest of the afternoon as a low-topped squall line moves east across
north Georgia into western South Carolina.

DISCUSSION...Lightning production within a long-lived but thin
squall line has become confined to parts of north GA into
east-central AL, where echo tops remain below 30k ft. A brief uptick
in intensity was noted into northwest GA where 35-45 kt measured
gusts and subsequent reports of nearby tree damage occurred, as the
line has approached the greater Atlanta Metro Area. Scant buoyancy
with MLCAPE below 200 J/kg remains the limiting factor to a more
prominent severe threat. Still, with surface temperatures in the mid
70s ahead of the squall into the Savannah Valley, sporadic strong
gusts from 45 to 60 mph will remain possible through sunset.
