    Mesoscale Discussion 0354
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1029 AM CDT Wed Mar 30 2022

    Areas affected...Parts of southeast Texas...western/northern Louisiana...southern/eastern Arkansas and adjacent western
    Mississippi and Tennessee

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

    Valid 301529Z - 301630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Intensifying thunderstorm development, including
    supercells, is expected through Noon-2 PM CDT, accompanied by a
    gradually increasing risk for tornadoes and potentially damaging
    wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...Strong southerly low-level flow, including speeds of
    50-60+ kt around 850 mb, will be maintained across Louisiana coastal
    areas through much of the lower Mississippi Valley into this
    afternoon, in advance of a vigorous short wave trough pivoting in
    negatively tilted fashion across the southern Great Plains. In
    association with this regime, a more substantive influx of low-level
    moisture is ongoing off the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, across
    upper Texas coastal areas as far north as areas near/east of the
    Ark-La-Tex. This moistening is forecast to continue gradually
    spreading northeastward and eastward across the lower Mississippi
    Valley into this afternoon.

    The latest Rapid Refresh suggests that substantive boundary-layer destabilization has already been occurring the past few hours across
    much of Louisiana. As this persists and develops northeastward,
    coupled with strengthening large-scale ascent, weakening mid-level
    inhibition seems likely to allow for increasing and intensifying
    thunderstorm development. In the presence of wind profiles
    including strong deep-layer shear and large clockwise-curved
    low-level hodographs, the evolution of a few supercell structures
    seems probable. This may include within a developing line along an
    eastward advancing convectively enhanced surface boundary, and
    isolated discrete cells ahead of it, through 17-19Z.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0354
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1045 AM CDT Sun Mar 26 2023

    Areas affected...Southeast Texas...Western Louisiana

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

    Valid 261545Z - 261745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to form relatively
    soon over southeast TX, moving into western LA before 3pm.=20
    Supercells capable of all severe hazards are possible. A WW may be
    needed.

    DISCUSSION...Water vapor loops show subtle shortwave trough moving
    across central TX. Lift in advance of this feature will begin
    affecting southeast TX in the next 1-2 hours, leading to scattered
    thunderstorm development. A surface warm front is lifting slowly
    northward across this area, providing the leading edge of near-70F
    dewpoints and ample CAPE. Strengthening southeasterly low-level
    winds ahead of the upper trough, combined with the favorable
    thermodynamic environment, suggest the potential for supercells
    capable of large hail and a tornado or two. The primary severe
    threat is likely to evolve farther east and later this afternoon
    over LA, but the initial storms may pose sufficient risk to require
    a WW.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0354
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0349 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024

    Areas affected...portions of eastern Wisconsin and the
    western/central Upper Peninsula of Michigan

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 022049Z - 030145Z

    SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow will gradually expand in coverage
    over parts of WI and MI this afternoon/evening. Rates of 1-1.5
    in/hour are likely within the heaviest banding along the western
    shores of Lake Michigan.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2045 UTC, regional radar and surface analysis
    showed a broad precipitation shield expanding north/northeastward
    from a deepening surface cyclone centered over far northern IL.
    Within this comma head structure, moderate to heavy rain has
    gradually transitioned to snow. While temperatures have been only
    marginally conducive for snow thus far, dynamic cooling and
    low-level cold advection should allow for a full transition to snow
    from west to east. Hi-res forecast guidance suggests the development
    of one or more mesoscale bands is likely through this evening.
    Likely driven by frictional convergence on the western lake shore
    and slantwise convection, snow rates within some of these banded
    structures may reach 1-1.5 in/hr.

    Heavy snow will continue to expand east/northeastward across eastern
    WI and the western UP through the afternoon and into the evening.
    Confidence in the highest rates will remain along the western lake
    shore where forcing for ascent and inland moisture advection are
    expected to be the strongest. However, periodic heavy snowfall with
    rates near 1 in/hr will remain possible across much of WI and the UP
    through tonight.
