Weather watch issuance remains uncertain. DISCUSSION...Mosaic radar imagery currently shows a squall line across parts of central Georgia extending northeastward into far western South Carolina. The line is being supported by strong large-scale ascent associated with an approaching trough, and by forcing along a fast-moving cold front. Ahead of the line, instability is very weak, with surface dewpoints in the 50s F across western South Carolina and northeast Georgia. The latest WSR-88D VWP at Greenville/Spartanburg has about 85 knot of 0-6 km shear with 40 to 50 knots of south-southwesterly flow located just above the surface. An isolated wind-damage threat will be possible with the stronger cells within the line. Given the very strong low-level shear, meso-scale vorticies will be possible in the line with embedded cells that remain surface-based. However, forecast soundings in far western South Carolina have a sharp near surface temperature inversion, which should keep any severe threat isolated and localized. ...Broyles/Gleason.. 02/16/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7_1RdaFE7yXC53At3NAwsc5uJ98BBoSFFO0u98-gPWhDqbkSPdPcBA1Wrs6TD4Jv8vNSM-Qsi= lfYD30drw0RF1hAffk$ for graphic product...
