    Areas affected...Far southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 252229Z - 260030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong to severe thunderstorms may pose an isolated
    hail/wind risk over the next 1-2 hours. This threat will likely
    remain too limited spatially to warrant a watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...GOES imagery over the past hour has shown a few cells re-intensifying within a decaying MCS and developing ahead of the
    line across southwest AL. This activity has generally been below
    severe limits with only transient storm organization noted, and is
    largely due to weak shear above the 2-3 km layer. However, a few
    cells have shown brief MESH cores suggesting marginally severe to 1
    inch hail is possible. Partly cloudy skies ahead of the line has
    allowed temperatures to warm into the low 80s, promoting modest
    boundary-layer destabilization. MLCAPE values near 2000 J/kg are
    noted in recent mesoanalysis estimates, which is likely driving the
    brief, but strong, initial updraft pulses. 30-40 mph veering flow
    within the lowest 1 km (sampled by regional VWPs) will support the
    potential for isolated damaging winds with any stronger downburst
    and perhaps a weak/brief tornado with any more organized discrete
    cells. These trends are expected to continue over the next couple of
    hours across southwest AL as the line drifts east, though the
    limited nature of the threat will likely preclude watch issuance.

    Areas affected...TX Permian Basin and vicinity

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

    Valid 021635Z - 021800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Supercell development is expected by early/mid afternoon,
    with a threat of very large to giant hail (potentially 3-4 inches in
    diameter), localized severe gusts, and a couple of tornadoes.
    Tornado Watch issuance is likely by early afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Diurnal heating is underway across the TX Permian Basin
    region, with some thinning of low/midlevel cloudiness noted over the
    last hour. Steep midlevel lapse rates and rich low-level moisture
    are already supporting MLCAPE in excess of 1500-2000 J/kg, with an
    increase above 3000 J/kg possible this afternoon. Meanwhile,
    increasing midlevel flow near the base of a shortwave
    mid/upper-level trough moving across the southern Rockies is
    supporting effective shear of 40-55 kt across the region. This instability/shear combination will result in a very favorable severe thunderstorm environment, and scattered supercell development is
    expected by early/mid afternoon as favorable large-scale ascent
    attendant to the southern Rockies shortwave spreads over the region.

    Elongated and relatively straight hodographs will favor splitting
    supercells, with a primary threat of very large to giant
    (potentially 3-4 inch in diameter) hail. While low-level flow will
    likely remain relatively modest, some backing of surface winds may
    support sufficient enhancement of low-level shear/SRH to support the
    threat for a couple of tornadoes, especially with any more intense
    and long-lived supercells. Localized severe gusts will be possible
    as well.=20

    With supercell development possible within the next 2-3 hours,
    Tornado Watch issuance is likely by early afternoon.
