    Mesoscale Discussion 1117
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...Central into south-central GA and northeast and
    eastern AL

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 297...

    Valid 211210Z - 211415Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 297
    continues.

    SUMMARY...An ongoing forward-propagating line of storms is expected
    to advance south through the remainder of the Georgia and eastern
    Alabama portion of WW 297 through 14Z, and should exit the Georgia
    portion by 13Z. If severe-weather threat persists at that time in
    central Georgia, then a tier or two of counties will need to be
    added by local extension across south-central Georgia.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar imagery through 12Z showed a forward-propagating line of storms extending generally east-west
    from Putnam to Heard Counties GA to Randolph to Calhoun Counties AL.
    These storms were tracking to the south/southeast along a moderately
    strong instability gradient at a forward speed between 35-40 kt. At
    this storm motion, locally strong wind gusts are possible. However,
    the current presence of surface-based inhibition may be temporarily
    limiting that severe-weather threat.

    There is precedence to maintain the current watch and add downstream
    counties, as the onset of diabatic heating given generally clear
    skies south of the ongoing line of storms should aid in the removal
    of the inhibition. This heating will also destabilize the
    environment through the morning, suggesting a new
    severe-thunderstorm watch would need to be considered across
    southern GA, with a similar threat for damaging winds.
