Areas affected...Parts of northwestern AL into Middle TN

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

Valid 250207Z - 250330Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...The risk of severe storms capable of all hazards will
increase over portions of northwestern AL into Middle TN during the
next few hours. A watch issuance is likely before 0230Z.

DISCUSSION...A QLCS is tracking eastward across western TN into
northern MS, while northeastward-moving supercells are ongoing over
northern into central MS. As a large-scale trough evident in water
vapor imagery continues eastward this evening, the warm sector
(characterized by middle/upper 60s dewpoints) will spread eastward
into parts of western AL and Middle TN. At the same time, a
strengthening low-level jet will also shift eastward over the warm
sector, favoring a continuation of the severe storms with eastward
extent. Large/clockwise-turning hodographs (sampled by regional VWP)
will support organized storms including supercells (even if embedded
in a line) with a risk of tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail.
A watch will likely be issued for parts of this area before 0230Z.
