   Mesoscale Discussion 0284
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0939 PM CDT Sun Apr 07 2019

   Areas affected...Southern Mississippi into southwest Alabama

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 44...

   Valid 080239Z - 080445Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 44
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A dying line of storms will progress east across
   Mississippi and perhaps into southwest Alabama this evening. While a
   few strong wind gusts are possible, a watch is not required.

   DISCUSSION...A long-lived MCS continues to weaken this evening, with
   a decrease in trailing STRATIFORM precipitation and a thinning of
   the leading-edge convection.

   00Z soundings into central MS and AL indicate that diurnal cooling
   of the boundary layer will likely lead to a decrease in storm
   coverage, both ahead of the line and within, as a capping inversion
   exists around 700 mb. Instability levels are much weaker into the FL
   Panhandle region, with nearly zero MLCAPE noted on the TLH sounding.
   Thus, trends of the last hour are expected to persist.
