    Areas affected...east-central and southeastern Alabama...northern
    portions of the Florida Panhandle...and parts of central and
    southern Georgia

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

    Valid 191814Z - 192015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will continue
    developing across parts of the Southeast, with locally gusty winds
    -- capable of producing tree/branch damage -- possible.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar and visible satellite loops show storms
    increasing in coverage across portions of Alabama and Georgia, and
    vicinity, to the south and southeast of a short-wave trough shifting southeastward across the southern Appalachians. The storms are
    evolving within a very moist (mid 70s dewpoints) airmass, where
    insolation has helped to push mixed-layer CAPE values into the 2000
    to 3000 J/kg range.

    As storms continue to evolve, some organization is being observed --
    aided by moderate/unidirectional westerly flow indicated across the
    region on the southern periphery of the upper trough. As outflow
    boundaries merge favoring new/possibly vigorous updraft growth
    locally, gusty winds -- capable of minor damage -- may occur
    locally. However, given expectations that such stronger gusts will
    remain sparse/sporadic, and largely below official severe levels, WW
    issuance is not likely to be required.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1518
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1226 PM CDT Thu Jul 13 2023

    Areas affected...Portions of far southeastern IN...southern OH...northern/eastern KY...and WV

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

    Valid 131726Z - 131830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Potential for large hail and damaging winds should exist
    with thunderstorms this afternoon. Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    issuance is likely.

    DISCUSSION...A surface cold front is draped along/near the Ohio
    River into southern/eastern OH at 1715Z. A very moist low-level
    airmass, characterized by surface dewpoints generally in the low
    70s, is present along/south of this boundary. Although large-scale
    ascent remains fairly nebulous, sufficient low-level convergence
    along the front coupled with the presence of a strong upper jet over
    the OH Valley appears to be supporting the development of convection
    across parts of WV early this afternoon. Additional development
    should occur farther west along/near the Ohio River into northern
    KY/southern OH. Latest mesoanalysis suggests that upwards of
    2000-2500 J/kg of MLCAPE is already available to support robust
    updrafts, with even stronger instability forecast to develop over
    the next few hours with continued daytime heating.

    Various VWPs across this region show weak westerly winds gradually strengthening with height at mid/upper levels. Corresponding speed
    shear is contributing to around 30-40 kt of deep-layer shear,
    locally stronger farther west along the Ohio River. Current
    expectations are for thunderstorms to gradually continue increasing
    in both coverage and intensity this afternoon as additional diurnal
    heating occurs. A mix of multicells and supercells posing a threat
    for both large hail and damaging winds should occur. Given the
    increasing hail/wind threat, Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance will
    likely be needed.
