    Areas affected...Western Alabama

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 62...

    Valid 221956Z - 222200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 62 continues.

    SUMMARY...Some threat for damaging wind gusts and QLCS tornadoes
    will continue into western Alabama this afternoon. The threat will
    generally be greater in west-central Alabama where moisture/buoyancy
    is greater.

    DISCUSSION...Storms within central/eastern Mississippi have largely
    remained linear this afternoon. There are some discrete cells ahead
    of the the primary line. The most substantial of these discrete
    storms is moving northeast through Kemper County, MS and has
    recently shown a TDS on KDGX radar. The overall expectation is for
    these cells to be overtaken by the line in the next 60-90 minutes.
    Going forward, wind damage and QLCS tornadoes are expected to be the
    primary threats as convection moves into western Alabama. The
    environment ahead of the convective line has been able to warm to
    near 80 F in several places. However, moisture return in Alabama has
    been much less than in Mississippi. Consequently, MLCAPE values have
    remained from 300-400 J/kg in northern Alabama to 500-700 in
    west-central Alabama. Due to the forward speed of the line, it is
    uncertain how much further destabilization can occur through the
    afternoon. In any event, some potential for damaging wind gusts and
    QLCS tornadoes will exist given the strong low-level winds and
    low-level hodograph turning observed in region VWPs.

    Areas affected...portions of northeast Oklahoma...extreme northwest Arkansas...far southwest Missouri

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

    Valid 231945Z - 232115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms should gradually increase both ahead of and behind
    the cold front through the afternoon and evening hours. A few of the
    stronger storms may produce severe hail, with a damaging gust or
    tornado possible with pre-frontal storms.

    DISCUSSION...A subtle perturbation within the broader southwesterly
    mid-level flow, evident via 19Z mesoanalysis, is approaching the
    southern Plains from the NM/TX border area and is expected to
    contribute to increasing upper support through the afternoon.
    Simultaneously, boundary-layer warming/moistening is contributing to
    increasing surface-based instability ahead of a southward-sagging
    cold front. Mid 70s/upper 60s F surface temperatures/dewpoints,
    overspread by 7.5-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates (evident via modified
    observed 18Z regional soundings) are contributing to 500-1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. Though vertical wind profiles are largely unidirectional,
    regional 18Z observed soundings and VADs show adequate speed shear
    and associated elongated hodographs. As such, several storms may
    become organized and sustained, with occasional bouts of mid-level
    rotation possible.

    Scattered multicells and transient supercells may develop in either
    the pre- or post-cold frontal environment through the evening hours
    as a 30+ kt 850 mb jet continues to advect rich moisture over the
    Ozark Valley, with over 1000 J/kg MUCAPE likely. In either regime,
    large hail will be the main threat. However, the stronger storms
    with the greatest likelihood of very large hail and perhaps a severe
    gust or tornado would be in northeast OK toward the AR border, where
    storms may experience enough residence time ahead of the cold front
    to take advantage of the relatively greater (surface-based)
    buoyancy.

    Areas affected...northern FLORIDA Peninsula...southeastern
    Georgia...eastern South Carolina...far southern North Carolina

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

    Valid 272022Z - 272215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage will increase this afternoon with
    potential for instances of severe hail and wind.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development has begun in eastern Georgia
    near a surface boundary that extends from the Carolinas southward
    into the eastern Florida Panhandle. CAMs continue to suggest this=20 thunderstorm activity will increase into the afternoon, with
    scattered thunderstorms expected across much of the region.
    Afternoon heating has been slow, given mid-to upper level cloud
    cover and slow eroding of stable air behind morning convection.
    Surface objective analysis indicates MLCIN has weakened with around
    500 J/kg MLCAPE across South Carolina into Georgia ahead of the
    boundary. This trend is further confirmed by thunderstorm
    development on radar.

    Currently, deep layer shear is strongest across the northern Florida
    Peninsula into southern Georgia. As the front shifts eastward this
    afternoon, stronger mid-level flow will spread northward, with deep
    layer shear increasing to the north as a result. This will support
    potential for a few more robust thunderstorms with potential for
    damaging winds and large hail. Given the slow air mass recovery and
    potential for messy storm mode with multi-cell clusters, a watch is
    unlikely to be needed this afternoon.
