SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1224 AM CDT Sun Mar 16 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA... ...SUMMARY... Sporadic damaging wind swaths and a few tornadoes will be the primary threats this morning through dusk across a broad portion of the East. ...OH Valley/northern Middle Atlantic... Seasonally strong upper trough, though bimodal in nature, will shift into the OH Valley/Southeast by the end of the period. Ahead of the main trough, a lead mid-level speed max will translate across eastern OH/western PA with 500mb speeds in excess of 120kt. This feature will be partly responsible for sustaining a surface low that should track from southeast lower MI into ON by early afternoon. Additionally, LLJ is forecast to increase markedly across western PA early in the period, and this will aid moistening ahead of the short wave. Early this morning, an elongated corridor of convection/precipitation extends from the FL Panhandle, northeast into OH. Warm advection will likely maintain this activity which will be ongoing at the start of the period. Latest model guidance suggests a secondary band of convection will develop along/ahead of the front by mid-late morning, and an upward evolving, strongly forced line of storms, and a few embedded supercells, will surge east into western PA. Damaging winds seem plausible with this convection, and profiles also favor some risk for a few brief tornadoes. ...Southeast... Mid-level heights will fall across the southeastern U.S. early in the period as low-latitude jet core shifts east along the Gulf Coast into GA. This will ensure the primary synoptic front progresses steadily east through the period. By 18z the wind shift should extend from the southern Appalachians into the eastern FL Panhandle. Subsequent movement will result in the front advancing into the southern FL Peninsula by 17/12z. Scattered strong/severe convection, with some risk for supercells, will be noted ahead of the surging boundary. Forecast soundings exhibit very strong 0-6km bulk shear, and ample ESRH will be more than adequate for a risk of a few tornadoes. Steep mid-level lapse rates also suggest the more robust updrafts should generate hail. Overall, severe threat will shift east/southeast through the period. ..Darrow/Moore.. 03/16/2025 Read more

MD 0216 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 48... FOR EASTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE
Mesoscale Discussion 0216 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0857 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...Eastern Middle Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 48... Valid 160157Z - 160400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 48 continues. SUMMARY...A damaging wind and tornado threat persist across parts of eastern Middle Tennessee, but is expected to continue waning heading into the late evening hours. DISCUSSION...Over the past hour, convection across eastern TN has shown signs of gradual weakening with decreasing lightning counts, and warming cloud top temperatures. However, convection that remains across the area continues to show signs of mid-level rotation, and the overall convective environment remains very strongly sheared within a broad, northward-lifting warm frontal zone. The kinematic environment was sampled well by the 00z FFC sounding, though prolonged convective overturning across much of TN is limiting buoyancy considerably more than was is depicted by the observed sounding. Although a localized severe threat continues for the short-term (next hour or so), continued diabatic cooling heading into the late evening should result in gradually diminishing severe potential. ..Moore.. 03/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0217 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0900 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...much of central Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 49... Valid 160200Z - 160400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 49 continues. SUMMARY...The risk of strong tornadoes persists over watch area, especially over central Alabama. DISCUSSION...In the wake of tornadic storms which went across the BMX radar, a residual region of outflow remains across parts of Shelby, Talladega, Chilton and Coosa counties. Meanwhile, a very large complex of storms is coming up from the southwest. Very strong inflow winds exist ahead of this complex, which will continue to feed these storms and possibly enhance lift along the residual outflow from the earlier storms. Given over 400 m2/s2 0-1 SRH, it is possible that any interaction with the boundary could result in a strong tornado. The environment remains favorable extending farther south as well, where a north-south confluence line is noted ahead of the primary cold front, and including the Wilcox County cell. ..Jewell.. 03/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0747 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Valid 160100Z - 161200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EXTREME SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI ACROSS MUCH OF ALABAMA INTO WESTERN GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE... ...SUMMARY... Widespread severe convection, including the risk for strong tornadoes continues this evening. Severe threat will spread across Alabama into Georgia/Florida Panhandle later tonight. ...01z Update... Strong short-wave trough is evident on water-vapor imagery over eastern OK/TX. This feature will shift into the lower MS Valley later this evening as 100+kt 500mb speed max translates through the base of the trough into the central Gulf States. While the primary synoptic front is lagging the organized band of convection, ample low-level convergence/inflow is noted across southern AL/western FL Panhandle into western GA. This will encourage ongoing activity to propagate downstream, aided by the fast-approaching mid-level speed max/short wave. This corridor of storms is multifaceted with embedded supercells and bowing type structures, within an otherwise broad precip shield. Latest observations suggest the most buoyant air mass is correlated with mid-upper 60s surface dew points, which have advanced as far north as ALX in eastern AL. Air mass recovery is expected downstream into western GA which should support a continuation of ongoing severe into this region. 00z sounding from FFC exhibits fairly steep lapse rates through 6km, and further boundary-layer moistening will prove beneficial for further destabilization. Strong tornado threat continues with any supercells as large-scale support and very strong shear remain favorable. Additionally, damaging winds can be expected with any line segments, and bowing structures. Hail is also possible, especially across the more buoyant southern areas. ..Darrow.. 03/16/2025 Read more

MD 0213 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 46... FOR SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0213 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0618 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...southern Mississippi into central and southern Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 46... Valid 152318Z - 160215Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 46 continues. SUMMARY...The environment remains quite favorable for strong tornadoes, but will depend on storm mode going into the evening and early morning hours. DISCUSSION...Supercells moving out of eastern MS have transitioned into more of a small MCS this evening, from west-central AL into parts of eastern MS. Farther south, more discrete cell mode was noted across far southern MS to the LA border. While storm mode is currently a bit disorganized, shear, moisture and instability all remain favorable for conditionally strong tornadoes at any point this evening and through early morning. In addition, dewpoints and thus instability will also increase across the remainder of eastern AL and toward GA late tonight as the low-level jet persists. It is possible that reorganization may take place later this evening as we transition out of the daytime/diurnal regime. Any robust, discrete cells will have a high conditional risk of being tornadic supercells. Any linear structures may still produce tornadoes and swaths of damaging wind as well as effective SRH remains at or above 500 m2/s2. ..Jewell.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0214 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 47...48... FOR NORTHERN ALABAMA INTO EASTERN TENNESSEE
Mesoscale Discussion 0214 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0621 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...Northern Alabama into eastern Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 47...48... Valid 152321Z - 160115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 47, 48 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for tornadoes and severe gusts continues across northern Alabama into eastern Tennessee for the next few hours. DISCUSSION...Over the past 1-2 hours, convection across north-central AL has struggled to maintain intensity as it migrates into a deeply saturated, rain cooled environment. Recent surface observations depict a rather pronounced surface warm front extending across northern AL that delineates the northern extent of appreciable surface-based buoyancy. Despite the thermodynamic challenges, the low to mid-level theta-e axis remains in place across north-central AL. Strong isentropic ascent within this regime continues to support very strongly veered hodographs within the lowest few kilometers, exemplified by KBMX and KHTX VWP observations featuring 0-1 km SRH on the order of 400-500 m2/s2. Additionally, GOES IR imagery and lightning data have shown occasional updraft pulses within this warm advection regime and embedded supercell structures within a broken line of storms across eastern Middle TN which hint that buoyancy remains adequate for at least transient deep convection. Recent WoFS guidance appears to support this idea with some signal for low-level helicity tracks and severe gust potential focused across northeast AL into eastern/southeastern TN between 23-02 UTC. ..Moore.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
