    Mesoscale Discussion 0009
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0522 PM CST Fri Jan 04 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of the northeast Georgia and South Carolina
    Piedmont

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 042322Z - 050115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...There appears at least some risk for an intensifying
    thunderstorm or two, which could be accompanied by potential for a
    tornado or localized damaging wind gust into the 7-9 PM EST time
    frame. The threat currently still appears too low for a watch
    issuance, but trends will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...An arcing zone of stronger mid-level forcing for
    ascent, ahead of the compact closed low migrating into the upper
    Tennessee Valley, has supported the evolution of a northeastward
    advancing band of convection and embedded thunderstorm activity
    across the Cumberland Plateau through the southern Appalachians
    vicinity. On the southern periphery of the band, across the
    northeast Georgia piedmont, this includes discrete storms along a
    warm frontal zone extending east northeastward into the South
    Carolina piedmont.

    Objective analysis and forecast soundings suggest that only very
    weak boundary layer destabilization is taking place along the warm
    front, and within the warm sector, with CAPE generally below 500
    J/kg. However, beneath 30-40+ kt southerly 850 mb flow, low-level
    hodographs are clockwise curved and sizable, beneath strong deep
    layer shear in the vicinity of 100 kt 500 mb jet.

    Although probabilities still appear fairly low, it might not be
    entirely out of the question that the environment along the warm
    frontal zone could become supportive of an intensifying low-topped
    supercell or two, accompanied by the risk for a tornado or damaging
    downburst, into the 00-02Z time frame.
