   Mesoscale Discussion 1937
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0721 PM CDT Sat Aug 17 2024

   Areas affected...Central Georgia

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 632...

   Valid 180021Z - 180115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 632
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated wind-damage threat may persist for another hour
   or so before diminishing.

   DISCUSSION...Surface cooling is underway with sunset, which will
   result in a gradual decrease in surface-based buoyancy in the warm
   sector ahead of the ongoing convection across GA.  However, a
   storm-scale merger of a more east-west band with a more north-south
   cluster from the west will locally boost updraft intensity into
   parts of the Atlanta metro area for the next 1 hour or so, which
   will help maintain some threat for additional wind damage. 
   Thereafter, storms are expected to weaken and the severe threat will
   diminish.
