    Areas affected...portions of Southern-Middle Tennessee...extreme
    northeast Alabama...extreme northwest Georgia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 222155Z - 222330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A conditional severe threat may develop with the
    approaching squall line across southern-Middle Tennessee if adequate
    moisture can arrive on time. A couple of damaging gusts would be the
    main threat, though a tornado cannot be ruled out. A WW issuance is
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...A mature QLCS with a history of damaging gusts and
    tornadoes is approaching portions of southern-Middle Tennessee.
    Ahead of the QLCS, temperatures are in the mid-70s F surface
    dewpoints, with dewpoints approaching 57 F. At the moment, buoyancy
    is scant ahead of the squall, and RAP forecast soundings suggest
    that dewpoints need to reach or exceed 59 F before convection can
    become sufficiently rooted in the surface-layer to ingest the
    abundant low-level streamwise vorticity to otherwise support a more
    appreciable severe threat. Latest surface observations have shown up
    to 59 F surface dewpoints across Lauderdale County, AL. As such, it
    is possible that enough surface-based buoyancy may advect ahead of
    the line into far southern-Middle TN to support the potential for a
    few damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado. Either way, conditions
    will continue to be monitored increasing buoyancy into TN and the
    need for a possible WW issuance.

    Areas affected...Far eastern OK...northwest AR...southwest MO

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 71...72...

    Valid 232240Z - 240015Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 71, 72
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Ongoing supercells could gradually intensify during the
    next couple hours. Large hail and locally damaging gusts are the
    main concerns, though a tornado will also be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Northeastward-tracking supercells are ongoing
    along/slightly north of a stalled surface boundary extending from
    far eastern OK east-northeastward into south-central MO. Thus far,
    the overall flow regime has favored storms evolving
    along/immediately north of the surface boundary, resulting in
    primarily a large-hail threat. While hail reports have been
    sub-severe so far in this area, a developing surface low along the
    boundary in eastern OK coupled with a gradually strengthening
    low-level jet could favor an increase in storm intensity during the
    next couple hours.=20

    In addition, outflow associated with a supercell cluster in eastern
    OK is having a tendency to re-orient the stationary boundary to more northeast-southwest -- yielding off-boundary flow/shear into the
    open warm sector. If this activity (or any storms along the
    boundary) obtain stronger midlevel mesocylones and propagate
    slightly eastward off the boundary, damaging gusts and perhaps a
    tornado or two will become an increasing concern. Overall,
    confidence in this scenario is low given recent convective trends,
    and large hail should be the primary threat.

    Areas affected...Far East-Central IN into Central/Southern OH

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 302027Z - 302300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms capable of hail (1" to
    1.75") and/or damaging gusts (from 40 to 60 mph) are possible this
    afternoon and evening.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis places a low over north-central
    OH (about 30 miles east-northeast of FDY). A warm front extends east-southeastward from this low across southeast OH into far
    northern WV. A modest surface trough also extends southwestward from
    this low across central IN and central IL. Filtered heating in the
    wake of the early morning cloud cover has allowed temperatures to
    climb into the upper 60s/low 70s within the warm sector
    south/southwest of the warm front and to the east of the surface
    troughing. Low-level moisture remains modest, with dewpoints in the
    upper 40s/low 50s. Even though the low-level thermodynamic
    conditions are relatively modest, these conditions combined cold
    mid-level temperatures (i.e. around -20 deg C at 500 mb) and
    associated steep mid-level lapse rates are contributing to air mass destabilization.

    This destabilization is verified by increasingly agitated cumulus
    just ahead of the surface trough over far east-central IN and far
    western OH. Given the veered low-level flow, convergence along the
    boundary is limited. However, ascent along the boundary will be
    augmented by large-scale ascent attendant to a fast-moving shortwave
    embedded within the strong westerly flow aloft. This combination of
    ascent and destabilization will likely result in convective
    initiation. Buoyancy will be modest, but deep-layer vertical shear
    will be strong. Recent mesoanalysis estimates 50 to 60 kt of 0-6 km
    bulk shear across the region. As such, any deeper updrafts could
    become organized, capable of producing large hail (1" to 1.75")
    and/or damaging wind gusts (40 to 60 mph this afternoon and evening.
