FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN GEORGIA INTO FAR SOUTHEASTERN TENNESSEE Mesoscale Discussion 2318 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1140 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Areas affected...portions of northern Georgia into far southeastern Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 717... Valid 100540Z - 100645Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 717 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 717. A couple of damaging gusts are the main threat, though a tornado cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Linear convection is progressing across Tornado Watch 717, with a history of producing isolated bouts of sub-severe hail and scattered damaging gusts. These storms persist in a low-CAPE/high shear regime, which continues to support some organization. What little buoyancy remains continues to diminish in northern GA and points north and east, casting doubt on a more organized severe threat. However, low-level shear remains quite strong, so an additional damaging gust or even a tornado cannot be ruled out over the next few hours. Given the diminishing downstream buoyancy, convective trends will need to be closely monitored for the need of a downstream WW issuance or local extension. ..Squitieri.. 12/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
