    Mesoscale Discussion 0244
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0133 AM CST Sat Mar 12 2022

    Areas affected...Portions of southern and central Appalachians and
    vicinity

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 120733Z - 121330Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snow is possible within the southern and central
    Appalachians and vicinity. 1-2 inches per hour snowfall is possible
    in eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Rates of 1-1.5 inches per hour
    will continue to move northeastward into West Virginia and
    western/central Pennsylvania towards early morning.

    DISCUSSION...Temperatures have been dropping quickly across eastern
    Tennessee and Kentucky over the past 1-2 hours as cold air advection
    and diabatic cooling have increased. Correlation coefficient data
    from KJKL and KMRX show a transition zone from rain to snow roughly
    located in the Cumberland Plateau vicinity. This transition zone has
    quickly shifted east over the last hour. The combination of
    mid-level ascent and upslope flow will support 1-2 inch snowfall
    rates along the western slopes into the Appalachians. The greatest
    snowfall rates will begin to taper off by 4-6 AM EST.

    Farther north, snowfall is increasing across West Virginia into
    western Pennsylvania. Several observations sites are reporting
    moderate to heavy snow that is has been primarily driven by 850-700
    mb frontogentic lift. As the trough moves east and intensifies,
    deep-layer ascent will increase in these areas into early Saturday
    morning. The potential for 1-1.5 inch snowfall rates will increase
    accordingly during the next several hours.

    Areas affected...much of Kentucky...far southern Indiana...Middle Tennessee...northern Alabama

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 60...

    Valid 031615Z - 031915Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 60 continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for tornadoes will increase through the
    afternoon, from near the Ohio River southward into northern Alabama
    and eventually Georgia. Additional watches are likely later today
    east of ongoing tornado watch #60.

    DISCUSSION...A surface low near the IL/KY border will continue to
    deepen today as it travels up the OH River Valley and near a warm
    front. Areas of thunderstorms are ongoing near the low, with an
    arcing line of cells extending south into northern AL. Breaks in the
    clouds as well as strong southerly advection will continue to
    destabilize the warm sector, with sufficient instability forecast to
    support supercells with tornadoes by afternoon.=20

    Limited instability near the warm front will be mitigated by very
    strong lift combined with cooling aloft, and these height falls will
    extend southward into Middle TN. Midlevel lapse rates will be
    steeper beneath the midlevel wave, with the surface low track and
    warm front zone being a favored area for tornadoes, some strong.
    Initial convection near the low has periodically shown signs of
    rotation.

    Ongoing storms from middle TN into northwest AL will continue to
    strengthen as well, aided by higher boundary-layer theta-e despite
    being south of the midlevel jet core. Very strong shear is in place
    across the entire region, favoring fast-moving supercells and
    tornado threat.

    Areas affected...Southeastern Indiana into portions of
    southwest/south-central Ohio

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 44...

    Valid 142356Z - 150100Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues.

    SUMMARY...An area of greater tornado potential is evident from
    southeast Indiana into southwestern Ohio over the next 1-3 hours.

    DISCUSSION...Three supercells from just east of Indianapolis to
    northwest of Columbus, OH have shown a rightward turn to the
    southeast. Surface flow remains backed in southwestern portions of
    Ohio. Considering the observed storm motion and regional VAD
    profiles, an area of greater tornado threat is evident from
    southeastern Indiana into southwestern Ohio. 850 mb winds are
    expected to increase this evening as well. Should storms remain
    discrete and surface wind backed, the environment would become more
    favorable in the next 1-3 hours.
