MD 0329 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 87… FOR FAR EAST-CENTRAL GEORGIA INTO CENTRAL/UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0329
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0203 PM CDT Mon Mar 31 2025
Areas affected...Far east-central Georgia into central/Upstate South
Carolina
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 87...
Valid 311903Z - 312030Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 87
continues.
SUMMARY...A line of storms moving at 40-45 kts will allow for
additional convectively enhanced wind gusts capable of wind damage
despite a gradual reduction in buoyancy with northeast extent.
DISCUSSION...A ling of convection now in parts of
northeast/east-central Georgia is moving northeast at 40-45 kts. The
speed of the line coupled with a stronger push of 0-3 km flow (noted
on KFFC in the wake of the line) should promote convectively
enhanced gusts capable of wind damage into South Carolina. Muted
surface heating and lower dewpoints to the north/northeast will
limit buoyancy, though some increase over the next hour or so will
likely occur with additional broken insolation and moisture flux.
