    Mesoscale Discussion 0334

    Areas affected...Portions of central/eastern NC and southeastern VA

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

    Valid 241142Z - 241345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated threat for strong/gusty winds and perhaps a
    brief tornado may exist this morning. Watch issuance appears
    unlikely at this time.

    DISCUSSION...A low-topped cell in central NC has recently
    strengthened and shown signs of low-level rotation. The environment
    downstream across central/eastern NC and southeastern VA appears
    marginally supportive of surface-based storms, with MLCAPE no more
    than 500 J/kg. Still, strong deep-layer shear of 50-60+ kt exists
    over this region owing to a mid-level jet extending across much of
    the East Coast. Recent VWPs from KRAX show modest veering of the
    low-level flow, but around 30 kt of speed shear is present in the
    0-3 km layer. Both strong/gusty downdraft winds and perhaps a brief
    tornado appear possible this morning as convection spreads quickly northeastward. The current extent of ongoing storms will likely
    serve as the northern limit of any appreciable threat in the near
    term. Poor lapse rates and limited instability should keep the
    overall severe threat rather isolated, and watch issuance appears
    unlikely at this time.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0334
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1055 PM CDT Fri Mar 24 2023

    Areas affected...south central and southeastern Kentucky...middle
    into eastern Tennessee....northern Alabama

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 77...

    Valid 250355Z - 250630Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 77 continues.

    SUMMARY...An organized line of thunderstorms may pose a continuing
    risk for damaging wind gusts another couple of hours, but this
    threat probably will diminish across the Cumberland Plateau by 2-3
    AM EDT. A new severe weather watch currently seems unlikely, but
    trends will continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...A well organized convective system continues to evolve
    to the east and south of the mesoscale convective vortex, preceded
    by a notable meso low migrating northeastward near/northwest through
    north of Nashville vicinity. Richer boundary-layer moisture
    characterized by 60s F+ dewpoints is becoming cut off near the
    southern Tennessee border, which model forecast soundings indicate
    will minimize destabilization northeastward across middle Tennessee
    toward the Cumberland Plateau. However, 70s F+ surface temperatures
    have been maintained in a plume wrapping into the center of the meso
    low.=20=20

    Given the strength of the west-southwesterly lower/mid-tropospheric
    wind fields (40-70+ kt in the 850-700 mb layer) impinging on the
    rear of the convective system, the low-level thermodynamic profiles
    with warm and unsaturated layers may support a continuing risk for
    downward mixing of potentially damaging gusts to the surface. This
    probably will persist at least another hour or two, but may begin to
    diminish as forcing for ascent spreads into the Cumberland Plateau
    toward 06-07Z, where the boundary layer remains cooler and warm
    advection may not contribute to appreciable warming.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0334

    0844 PM CDT Mon Apr 01 2024

    Areas affected...portions of central into southern Texas

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

    Valid 020144Z - 020315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms are ongoing across portions of
    central and southern TX ahead of the cold front. Large hail and
    damaging gusts are the main threat with the more intense storms. A
    WW issuance is unlikely since the severe threat should remain
    isolated.

    DISCUSSION...Multicellular storms and transient supercells have
    developed ahead of a cold front across central into southern TX
    toward the Rio Grande, and are poised to move eastward into an
    increasingly buoyant airmass. Upper 70s to low 80s F surface
    temperatures and 70+ F dewpoints beneath 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse
    rates are contributing to 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE (per 01Z
    mesoanalysis). Regional VADs and 01Z mesoanalysis show elongated
    hodographs with some low-level curvature, but also considerable CINH
    in the 850-700 mb layer (as also shown by RAP forecast soundings).
    Furthermore, regional radar data suggests that many of these storms
    are anafrontal, and are occurring in a region of weaker deep-layer
    ascent compared to areas farther north. Large hail and damaging
    gusts may occur with some of the stronger storms if they can mature
    and sustain themselves this evening. A WW issuance appears unlikely
    since the overall severe threat should remain isolated.
