Valid 021400Z - 021500Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 73 continues. SUMMARY...A damaging wind and isolated tornado threat may continue into parts of West Virginia this morning. Downstream watch issuance will be needed. DISCUSSION...A small, but well organized line of thunderstorms is ongoing this morning across parts of eastern KY and far southern OH. While instability remains weak per recent mesoanalysis estimates and various RAP forecast soundings (around 250-500 J/kg MLCAPE), strong deep-layer shear of 50-60 kt will likely support continued convective organization as this line moves eastward into parts of WV and vicinity this morning. Damaging winds should remain the primary threat given the linear nature of the ongoing convection, but enough low-level shear is also present to support some risk for isolated tornadoes. A downstream watch will be issued shortly. ..Gleason/Thompson.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...RLX...JKL...ILN...LMK...

MD 0342 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN/MIDDLE TN AND WESTERN KY Mesoscale Discussion 0342 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0832 AM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Areas affected...Portions of western/middle TN and western KY Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 021332Z - 021500Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Some severe threat will probably persist this morning as thunderstorms spread northeastward. Watch issuance is possible. DISCUSSION...A loosely organized cluster of convection is ongoing this morning over southwestern TN and vicinity. While the boundary layer is only modestly unstable per 12Z BNA sounding and recent RAP forecast soundings over western TN, strong deep-layer shear associated with a pronounced mid/upper-level jet is present over the lower MS Valley into the TN Valley. Given the somewhat linear nature of the ongoing cluster, strong to damaging winds should be the main threat in the near term. But, the presence of a strong southwesterly low-level jet and effective SRH around 250-300 m2/s2 suggests that tornadoes will also be a concern with either line-embedded circulations, or with any supercells that can develop and persist. Trends will be closely monitored for possible watch issuance, pending signs of greater convective organization/intensity. ..Gleason/Thompson.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0732 AM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Valid 021300Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY...SOUTHEAST INDIANA...AND CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OHIO... ...SUMMARY... A severe weather outbreak is possible today over the Ohio Valley with the broader severe weather risk including parts of the Southeast. Strong and potentially long-track tornadoes are possible from Indiana and Ohio southward into the Mid South. A threat for strong tornadoes may focus this evening into tonight across parts of Alabama and Georgia. ...Synopsis... A complex and strongly dynamic spring storm system will potentially result in a large area of severe-weather risk from the southern Great Lakes/OH Valley southward into portions of the Deep South, including AL/GA and the western Carolinas late tonight. A potent trough over the Upper Midwest this morning will evolve into a very strong mid-level low over the southwest Great Lakes by Wednesday morning. An intense mid-level speed max over northern Mexico/TX, in association with the southern portion of the larger-scale central U.S. trough, will rapidly move east-northeast during the period and intensify to 125-kt at 500 mb over the southern Appalachians by daybreak Wednesday. Intense 12-hr midlevel height falls are forecast across much of the Great Lakes, OH/TN Valley, and the northern Gulf States, where values in excess of 200m are expected during the latter half of the period. The synoptic front this morning is draped across the OH Valley and will likely advance north due to the digging trough. ...OH Valley... Water-vapor imagery loop overnight showed a southern-stream short-wave trough associated with this morning's severe thunderstorm activity straddling the OH River in central KY and southern IN. This early-day thunderstorm complex will probably pose a risk for wind damage and perhaps a couple of tornadoes before it moves into the central Appalachians towards midday (see MCD #341 for short-term details). In its wake, a trailing outflow boundary/effective warm frontal zone will likely advance northward into IN/OH later today with lower to mid 60s progged to near I-70. Models continue to show an appreciable window of opportunity in which cloud breaks/heating and increasing low-level moisture contribute to moderate destabilization during the afternoon. Have adjusted the western envelope of severe probabilities farther west across IN to account for greater destabilization than earlier forecast, but otherwise have left the outlook unchanged across the OH Valley. Scattered thunderstorms will likely develop by early to mid afternoon with discrete supercells evolving from the more intense updrafts. Tornadoes, large to very large hail, and damaging gusts are expected with the supercells that mature across the warm sector. Enlarged and elongated hodographs imply fast storm motions and the possibility for several cyclic tornadic supercells, some of which may yield strong and long-lived tornadoes. Farther east, strong to severe storms may continue across the central Appalachians and perhaps move east into the Mid-Atlantic states. Hail/wind appear to be the primary hazards with this activity. ...Southeast this evening/tonight... Farther south and initially in the TN/MS/northern AL vicinity, severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop this afternoon as the leading edge of stronger large-scale ascent impinges on the region. A moisture-rich airmass and wind profile favoring supercells, will favor a risk for all severe hazards with the stronger thunderstorms. Although it remains unclear with regard to daytime to evening storm evolution across MS/AL/TN, the approach of the 500-mb speed max and intense shear through a deep layer atop a moist/unstable boundary layer, suggest a bimodal severe threat will probably evolve this evening into the overnight. Model guidance indicates messy but organized storm modes within a larger area of convection will probably develop. Forecast soundings show 300-500 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH from central/eastern AL into GA during the evening and overnight. The risk for tornadoes, including a few strong tornadoes, will be possible with this activity eventually reaching the Carolinas and the eastern FL Panhandle late. ..Smith/Leitman.. 04/02/2024 Read more View the full article

A threat for strong tornadoes may focus this evening into tonight across parts of Alabama and Georgia. ...Synopsis... A complex and strongly dynamic spring storm system will potentially result in a large area of severe-weather risk from the southern Great Lakes/OH Valley southward into portions of the Deep South, including AL/GA and the western Carolinas late tonight. A potent trough over the Upper Midwest this morning will evolve into a very strong mid-level low over the southwest Great Lakes by Wednesday morning. An intense mid-level speed max over northern Mexico/TX, in association with the southern portion of the larger-scale central U.S. trough, will rapidly move east-northeast during the period and intensify to 125-kt at 500 mb over the southern Appalachians by daybreak Wednesday. Intense 12-hr midlevel height falls are forecast across much of the Great Lakes, OH/TN Valley, and the northern Gulf States, where values in excess of 200m are expected during the latter half of the period. The synoptic front this morning is draped across the OH Valley and will likely advance north due to the digging trough. ...OH Valley... Water-vapor imagery loop overnight showed a southern-stream short-wave trough associated with this morning's severe thunderstorm activity straddling the OH River in central KY and southern IN. This early-day thunderstorm complex will probably pose a risk for wind damage and perhaps a couple of tornadoes before it moves into the central Appalachians towards midday (see MCD #341 for short-term details). In its wake, a trailing outflow boundary/effective warm frontal zone will likely advance northward into IN/OH later today with lower to mid 60s progged to near I-70. Models continue to show an appreciable window of opportunity in which cloud breaks/heating and increasing low-level moisture contribute to moderate destabilization during the afternoon. Have adjusted the western envelope of severe probabilities farther west across IN to account for greater destabilization than earlier forecast, but otherwise have left the outlook unchanged across the OH Valley. Scattered thunderstorms will likely develop by early to mid afternoon with discrete supercells evolving from the more intense updrafts. Tornadoes, large to very large hail, and damaging gusts are expected with the supercells that mature across the warm sector. Enlarged and elongated hodographs imply fast storm motions and the possibility for several cyclic tornadic supercells, some of which may yield strong and long-lived tornadoes. Farther east, strong to severe storms may continue across the central Appalachians and perhaps move east into the Mid-Atlantic states. Hail/wind appear to be the primary hazards with this activity. ...Southeast this evening/tonight... Farther south and initially in the TN/MS/northern AL vicinity, severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop this afternoon as the leading edge of stronger large-scale ascent impinges on the region. A moisture-rich airmass and wind profile favoring supercells, will favor a risk for all severe hazards with the stronger thunderstorms. Although it remains unclear with regard to daytime to evening storm evolution across MS/AL/TN, the approach of the 500-mb speed max and intense shear through a deep layer atop a moist/unstable boundary layer, suggest a bimodal severe threat will probably evolve this evening into the overnight. Model guidance indicates messy but organized storm modes within a larger area of convection will probably develop. Forecast soundings show 300-500 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH from central/eastern AL into GA during the evening and overnight. The risk for tornadoes, including a few strong tornadoes, will be possible with this activity eventually reaching the Carolinas and the eastern FL Panhandle late. ..Smith/Leitman.. 04/02/2024 Read more View the full article
