   Mesoscale Discussion 0512
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1228 PM CDT Mon Apr 21 2025

   Areas affected...central/southern Mississippi...central/northern
   Alabama...south-central Tennessee

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 211728Z - 212000Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...Marginal risk for gusty winds and hail through the
   afternoon and evening.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity has been ongoing across a cold
   front extending through the southeastern states this morning. Ahead
   of this feature, breaks in the cloud cover have allowed daytime
   heating and modest MLCAPE around 500-1500 J/kg to develop. Flow
   across this region is fairly weak, though some deep layer shear
   20-35 knots is observed in surface objective analysis. As storms
   move north and eastward this afternoon, potential for a few areas of
   gusty winds and small hail will be possible. Severe potential
   appears too limited for watch issuance to be needed.
