    Mesoscale Discussion 1742
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1224 PM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of far eastern GA...SC...and far
    south-central NC

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 281824Z - 282030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong/gusty winds capable of producing mainly
    tree damage will be possible this afternoon. Watch issuance is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...A thin, broken line of convection over upstate SC at
    1815Z will move eastward into central SC and far south-central NC
    this afternoon. The airmass ahead of this line has become weakly
    unstable owing to modest diurnal heating and some steepening of
    near-surface lapse rates, with MLCAPE generally in the 500-1000 J/kg
    range. The movement of small clusters embedded within this line
    somewhat orthogonal to mid-level 50-60 kt southwesterly flow could
    encourage isolated strong/gusty downdraft winds to reach the surface
    through the afternoon. Radar data from KCAE indicates this
    potential, with 40-50 kt inbound velocities recently noted west of
    Columbia, SC. The VWP from KCAE shows low-level winds generally
    veered to southwesterly, but there is around 30-35 kt of speed shear
    in the 0-1 km layer that could possibly support weak low-level
    rotation within the convective line. Accordingly, a brief tornado
    cannot be completely ruled out. Still, the overall marginal
    thermodynamic environment (with poor mid-level lapse rates) will
    probably limit a greater severe threat, and watch issuance is not
    expected at this time.
