    Mesoscale Discussion 0312
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0305 PM CDT Tue Mar 22 2022

    Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Mississippi and southeastern
    Louisiana

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 61...

    Valid 222005Z - 222200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 61 continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated supercell development remains possible inland of
    coastal areas, across southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi into
    the 4-6 PM CDT time frame. This may pose the risk for producing
    tornadoes and/or locally damaging wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...To the south of a mesoscale convective vortex migrating
    northeast of Greenwood MS, rear inflow into the associated organized
    convective system has contributed to an eastward acceleration of
    outflow across much of northern and central Mississippi. The
    southwestern flank of this outflow trails into the
    Mississippi/Louisiana state border area, south of Natchez, where it
    intersects a slower eastward advancing initial cold front, which
    trails into the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Southeast of these
    boundaries, a plume of seasonably moist boundary-layer air is
    contributing to moderate mixed-layer CAPE on the order of 1500-2000
    J/kg, as far east as the southern Mississippi/Alabama border
    vicinity.

    Although stronger mid/upper forcing for ascent now appears to be
    shifting northeastward, to the north of the Interstates 20/59
    corridors (of central Mississippi/Alabama), much of the region
    remains beneath broadly difluent and cyclonic mid-level flow. And
    southerly low-level flow remains strong as far south as coastal
    areas (including 50+ kt around 850 mb). This regime probably will
    remain conducive to widely scattered discrete thunderstorm
    development, in advance of the frontal convective band, with
    occasional isolated supercells emerging, accompanied by the risk of
    producing tornadoes.

    Areas affected...parts of southern Indiana...central and southern Ohio...adjacent north central Kentucky...the northern West Virginia
    Panhandle and southwestern Pennsylvania

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

    Valid 232227Z - 240030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered strong storms posing a risk
    for mainly marginally severe hail and wind are possible through
    around 8-10 PM EDT.

    DISCUSSION...Forcing for ascent along a slowly southward advancing
    cold front has been sufficient to support the initiation of
    scattered thunderstorm activity. This is occurring beneath the
    northwestern periphery of large-scale mid/upper ridging, but
    westerly flow aloft is quite strong and contributing to strong
    deep-layer shear.=20

    A narrow pre-frontal corridor has become at least weakly unstable
    with mixed-layer CAPE up to around 500 J/kg, aided by modestly steep
    mid-level lapse rates. This might support a couple of strong storms
    which could eventually produce severe hail before convection weakens
    as the boundary-layer instability wanes after dark. The potential
    for localized strong surface gusts is a bit more unclear due to
    generally moist low-level thermodynamic profiles with weak lapse
    rates. However, some mixing down to the surface of stronger
    westerly low-level flow (40-50 kt around 850 mb) appears possible
    across southeastern Ohio into southwestern Pennsylvania.

    Areas affected...eastern iowa and northern Illinois

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

    Valid 300152Z - 300315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong thunderstorms are possible this evening with
    some hail possible.

    DISCUSSION...A few strong thunderstorms are possible this evening
    from eastern Iowa into northern Illinois. Instability was quite
    limited on the 00Z DVN RAOB. However, continued warm air advection
    has likely increased instability and moistened the column between
    850 and 700mb over the past few hours. Therefore, despite the
    minimal instability, the moderate isentropic ascent associated with
    a ~40 knot low-level jet has proven sufficient for storms in the
    region. Given the strong unidirectional shear in the cloud-bearing
    layer, a few stronger storms with rotating updrafts are possible.
    Some hail to near 1 inch is possible, but expect the majority of
    hail to remain sub-severe. Isentropic ascent is expected to weaken
    in the next few hours as 850-700mb flow veers. This should bring an
    end to the marginal hail threat by late evening.
