    Areas affected...Parts of western/central NC...western/central SC...northern/central GA...and far east-central AL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 301548Z - 301745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms will increase in intensity and coverage as they
    spread eastward through this afternoon. The main concern will be
    swaths of damaging winds. One or more watches will be issued for the
    area.

    DISCUSSION...A band of ENE/WSW-oriented convection is spreading
    eastward across the southern Appalachians this morning -- ahead of
    an eastward-moving cold front. Over the next several hours,
    convection will continue spreading eastward across the
    western/central Carolinas and northern/central GA -- in tandem with
    the cold front and strong midlevel height falls preceding a
    large-scale trough. Ample diurnal heating of a moist pre-convective
    boundary layer (middle/upper 60s dewpoints) will contribute to
    upwards of 1500 J/kg MLCAPE, which combined with 40-50 kt of
    effective shear (sampled by earlier 12Z soundings), will favor storm intensification with eastward extent. Largely gust-front-parallel
    deep-layer shear and the strengthening deep-layer ascent should
    promote upscale-growing clusters capable of producing swaths of
    damaging winds (upwards of 70 mph). One or more watches will be
    issued for the area.
