Storm Prediction Center Mesoscale Discussion 1285: "THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS DESTABILIZATION CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD ALSO HELP SUSTAIN THE CONVECTIVE LINE EWD INTO THE ATLANTA METRO WHERE SFC TEMPS ARE NOW IN THE LOWER 90S F AND LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE STEEP. SHORT-TERM MODEL FORECASTS GRADUALLY INTENSIFY THE LINE EWD ACROSS NCNTRL GA AND WRN SC WHERE STRONGER INSTABILITY IS LOCATED. FOR THIS REASON...THE WIND DAMAGE THREAT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE MAY CONTINUE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING WITH AN INCREASING THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS."
