DISCUSSION...A eastward-moving band of convection, which earlier produced isolated measured severe gusts across parts of north GA and Upstate SC, has shown some signs of weakening over the last hour, with diminishing lightning activity. Downstream instability is very limited due to poor midlevel lapse rates, but seasonably strong heating/mixing occurred over the Carolina Piedmont region this afternoon. The combination of relatively steep low-level lapse rates and moderate low-level flow will continue to support a threat of localized strong/damaging gusts into early evening, before a more definitive weakening trend occurs tonight. ...Dean/Edwards.. 02/28/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5tLXfLgc4bxTb7jZ7jZhz6-Vta8oy3VaVWE5yCd_-JwmAXXuceNKrJqMmoh_LYBM9Kfi99J8D= fxSTxAjvSjtdMC2B9M$ for graphic product...
