    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 216...

    Valid 030105Z - 030230Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 216
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Sporadic damaging winds will remain possible as a
    weakening squall line moves across northern Georgia through the
    evening hours. However, the onset of nocturnal cooling should limit
    a more robust/widespread severe threat. Downstream watch issuance is
    not expected.

    DISCUSSION...The convective line pushing east across eastern AL and
    northern GA has begun to become predominantly outflow dominant and
    is showing signs of weakening via falling echo tops and warming
    cloud-top temperatures in latest GOES IR imagery. This is likely due
    to the onset of nocturnal cooling with surface temperatures falling
    from the upper 70s and low 80s into the low 70s/upper 60s over the
    past 1-2 hours. Modifying the observed 00z FFC sounding for current temperature/dewpoints suggests that the low-level inversion is
    relatively shallow at this point in the nocturnal cooling cycle, and
    7-7.5 C/km lapse rates remain over the region. Consequently, there
    may be sufficient buoyancy lingering across northern/northeast GA
    and the far western Carolinas (where dewpoints remain in the low to
    mid 60s) to allow for a few stronger, but transient, updraft pulses
    within the line. The collapse of these pulses may promote damaging
    winds at the surface, but the overall threat should continue to wane
    with time and eastern extent as low-level stability increases in a
    modestly sheared environment.
