    Mesoscale Discussion 1722
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0133 PM CST Fri Dec 21 2018

    Areas affected...far eastern West Virginia southward through far
    northeastern South Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 211933Z - 212030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Deepening/strengthening convection may result in a
    brief/isolated strong wind gusts over the next several hours. A WW
    is not currently anticipated for this activity.

    DISCUSSION...Latest satellite, radar, and lightning imagery
    indicates scattered, gradually deepening convection along an axis
    from near Greensboro, NC to Florence, SC. More isolated,
    lightning-producing convection was located near central Virginia.
    These storms were located in a strongly sheared environment with
    weak instability. Southerly/unidirectional kinematic profiles with
    mid-level flow exceeding 80 knots will contribute to updraft
    organization, although modest instability (owing to low 50s
    dewpoints and modest mid-level lapse rates) should keep any overall
    severe threat fairly low. Nevertheless, any isolated cells that can
    move to the right of the mean flow may exhibit weak mid-level
    rotation at times (as noted in Cumberland County, Virginia), while
    additional storms may result in areas of gusty winds that should
    mostly stay below severe limits (i.e., 36-kt thunderstorm wind gust
    near Florence, SC within the past hour). A WW issuance is not
    anticipated due to the specious and low-end nature of the severe
    threat.
