Mesoscale Discussion 0027
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0908 AM CST Sat Jan 19 2019
Areas affected...southeast Mississippi and southwest through central
Alabama
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 191508Z - 191715Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind and isolated tornadoes is
expected to develop eastward through southwest and central Alabama
this morning into the afternoon. Trends are being monitored for a
possible WW east of WW 0001.
DISCUSSION...As of mid morning a broken band of thunderstorms
extends from extreme east central MS southwest into southeast LA. A
few organized structures including bowing segments and embedded mini
supercells persist within the line. Surface low will continue east
through the TN Valley this afternoon with associated downstream
strong low-level jet maintaining modest theta-e advection with low
60s dewpoints contributing to around 500 J/kg MLCAPE. The band of
convection will likely persist as it advances east within this zone
of ascent and weak destabilization. VWP data show very impressive
wind profiles with 60+ kt 0-6 km shear and large hodographs along
the low-level jet corridor. This high shear/low cape environment
will likely continue to support occasional embedded organized
structures next several hours with damaging wind and isolated
tornadoes the main threat.
