    Mesoscale Discussion 0215

    Areas affected...Southwest KY...Southern IL...Far Southwest
    IN...Northern Middle TN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 070731Z - 070900Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe thunderstorm risk is expected to persist
    eastward and a new watch will likely be needed downstream of Tornado
    Watch 34 across portions of southwest KY and perhaps Middle TN.

    DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms currently extends along a cold
    front from about 35 miles north of EVV southwestward through
    southern IL, far southeast MO and into far northeast AR. A few
    bowing segments have been noted within the line over the last
    several hours, with the most recent segment now approaching the MO
    Bootheel. Winds preceding this line are very strong, with surface
    observations showing numerous 30-35 kt gusts and the KPAH VAD
    recently sampling around 70 kt at 1km AGL. Buoyancy ahead of the
    line is modest, with mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE ranges from just
    over 500 J/kg near southwest MO to closer to 250 J/kg closer to the
    IL/IN/KY border intersection. This limited buoyancy will likely keep
    storm severity muted near the OH River while the combination of
    buoyancy and shear results in some severe potential farther south
    over most of southwest KY. The primary severe risk will be damaging
    wind gusts, although the strength of the low-level flow suggests
    embedded QLCS tornadoes are also possible. The resulting severe risk
    will likely necessitate the need for new watch downstream of Tornado
    Watch 34.

    Areas affected...Arklatex...South/Central Arkansas...Northern
    Mississippi...and western Tennessee

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 012022Z - 012215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storms are expected to develop and increase in
    coverage by the afternoon/evening. More discrete cells may pose risk
    of large hail and a few tornadoes. Tornado Watch likely needed by
    21-22z.

    DISCUSSION...Current surface objective analysis and data from 18z
    soundings at SHV and LZK show some progress made in eroding CIN
    across the corridor from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
    However, daytime heating is well underway with surface obs showing
    temperatures across southern Louisiana and Mississippi approaching
    the upper 70s to lower 80s. Moisture is in place with mid to upper
    60s dew points into central Arkansas and Tennessee. Trends within
    CAM guidance have been for development of more discrete cells
    initially across the Arklatex region by 21-23z, where the cap has
    been weakening within the last couple of hours. Once storms develop,
    initial discrete cells will be capable of large hail, given deep
    layer shear profiles of 60-65 kts. Any cells that can become surface
    based near the AR/LA border will support some risk for tornadoes
    given adequate low level shear. As the low level jet gradually
    strengthens late afternoon/evening, elongating shear profiles and
    increasing 0-1 km shear should support a greater risk for tornadoes.
    A Tornado Watch is likely by 21-22z.

    Areas affected...Northeast Ohio into western/central Pennsylvania
    and western New York

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 101613Z - 102015Z

    SUMMARY...Snow squall potential will persist into the early
    afternoon hours across northeast Ohio into western/central
    Pennsylvania, and western New York.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past few hours, a combination of broken cloud
    cover and low/mid-level cold air advection over the upper OH river
    valley and lower Great Lakes region has allowed for low-level lapse
    rates to steepen to 7-8 C/km. These steep lapse rates are supporting
    shallow convection across central to western PA with a history of
    producing snow squall conditions (reduced visibility to 0.25 mile at
    times with moderate snowfall rates and wind gusts upwards of 25-30
    mph). The expectation is for this thermodynamic regime to largely
    remain in place through at least early afternoon before cold air
    advection in the 925-850 mb layer wanes later in the day. As
    low/mid-level destabilization continues for the next few hours,
    SBCAPE values should approach 250 J/kg, resulting in an
    intensification of precipitation/snowfall rates within convective
    snow showers. Recent high-res guidance suggests additional snow
    bands will propagate off of Lake Erie through early afternoon into
    northeast OH, PA, and western NY. One such band is evident in
    regional reflectivity across far western NY, lending confidence in
    this overall scenario. Consequently, the potential for snow squalls
    should continue for the next several hours.
