MD 0104 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 10... FOR ALABAMA...FLORIDA PANHANDLE...GEORGIA...SOUTHEAST TENNESSEE...FAR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0104 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1251 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Areas affected...Alabama...Florida Panhandle...Georgia...Southeast Tennessee...Far Western North Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 10... Valid 160651Z - 160845Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 10 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threats for wind damage and a few tornadoes will move quickly eastward across into western and northern Georgia, and across the remainder of southern and eastern Alabama during the early morning. New weather watch will be necessary ahead of the ongoing line. DISCUSSION...A mid-level trough will move quickly eastward across the lower to mid Mississippi Valley over the next few hours, as a surface low moves into the central Appalachians. An associated front is located over the central Gulf Coast states, with an organized squall line located ahead of the front. A narrow corridor of instability is analyzed ahead of the front, with surface dewpoints generally in the 60s F. In addition, RAP analysis shows a strong low to mid-level jet from eastern Mississippi northeastward into the southern Appalachians. 0-6 km shear is estimated to be in 65 to 80 knot range along this corridor and storm-relative helicity is very strong. This will continue to support a widespread severe threat over the next few hours. Severe gusts will be likely along the leading edge of the squall line and a few tornadoes also possible. ..Broyles.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0105 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EASTERN TENNESSEE...FAR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0105 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0140 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Areas affected...Eastern Tennessee...Far Western North Carolina Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 160740Z - 160945Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts will be possible over parts of eastern Tennessee and far western North Carolina over the next couple of hours. New weather watch issuance appears unlikely. DISCUSSION...According to mosaic radar imagery, the northern end of a squall line is currently moving through middle Tennessee. Very little instability is analyzed ahead of the line. However, the latest WSR-88D VWP at Morristown has 0-6 km shear near 75 knots with 30 to 40 knots of flow in the lowest 1 km. As the squall line moves eastward into the higher terrain over the next hour or two, isolated damaging gusts will be possible along the leading edge of the line. Although a severe threat will likely persist, the threat is expected to remain too localized for weather watch issuance. ..Broyles/Gleason.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0154 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND PARTS OF SOUTHERN LOUISIANA... ...SUMMARY... Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across southeast Texas and portions of southern Louisiana Tuesday afternoon and evening. ...Southeast TX/Coastal Plain vicinity... An upper trough will deepen as it moves across the Plains to the MS Valley on Tuesday. At the surface, a strong Arctic cold front will develop southeast across TX through the evening hours. A surface low will develop east along the upper TX coast and southern LA/MS through early Wednesday, with the front becoming positioned from southern MS into the western Gulf Wednesday morning. Southerly low-level flow ahead of the front will allow 60s F dewpoints to spread northward across the TX coastal plain and southern LA/MS. Steepening midlevel lapse rates will allow for elevated instability to develop atop an elevated mixed layer between 925-850 mb. This will support thunderstorm develop in a warm advection regime near the advancing cold front. This activity will likely remain elevated. Nevertheless, increasing southwesterly flow with height will result in elongated/straight hodographs above the EML. MUCAPE around 750-1200 J/kg will support organized cells within a favorably sheared environment and isolated large hail will be possible. ..Leitman.. 02/16/2025 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0137 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...Synopsis... A disturbance will bring enhanced westerly flow aloft on D2 - Monday across southern California into the desert southwest and across the southern Rockies. This will lead to an increase in surface winds across southern Arizona into New Mexico, as well as into the southern high Plains as lee troughing strengthens and surface low development occurs. Fuels across a region from far western Texas into southern New Mexico have undergone drying with the last passing system. ERCs will generally be around the 50th-75th percentile. Across southern Arizona, very little rainfall/snowfall has been observed, with ERCs also near the 75th percentile. Hi-res guidance from the HREF suggests longest duration Critical conditions would be tied to favored downslope regions near terrain features. As such, an Elevated was maintained with this outlook but locally Critical fire weather will be possible. ..Thornton.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1232 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Lightning potential will remain minimal across the U.S. on Monday. ...Synopsis... Mainly zonal upper flow is expected east of the Rockies on Monday. Strong surface high pressure will stretch from the northern Rockies to the Southeast with a cold and stable boundary-layer precluding thunderstorm activity for much of the CONUS. An upper trough will begin to deepen over the western U.S., and a resulting surface low will deepen over the southern High Plains. This low will track east into central TX toward the end of the period, and southerly low-level flow over the western Gulf will allow modest boundary-layer moisture to return across the TX Coastal Plain. Warm temperatures aloft will keep the boundary-layer capped despite low-level warm advection, and little destabilization is forecast, precluding thunderstorm potential. ..Leitman.. 02/16/2025 Read more

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1143 PM CST Sat Feb 15 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN A PART OF THE SOUTHEAST STATES... ...SUMMARY... Scattered damaging winds and a brief tornado are possible through midday from north Florida to the Savannah River Valley. Isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado are also possible northward into parts of the Lower Mid-Atlantic region through the afternoon. ...FL/GA... An extensive QLCS ongoing from parts of the TN Valley to the central Gulf Coast should reach the Savannah Valley to the FL Panhandle by 12Z. Ahead of this line, buoyancy will remain weak inland from the northeast Gulf and progressively minimal with northern extent. But the latter will be compensated by rather strong low-level shear/winds. As such, uncertainty exists on where the strongest portion of the line will persist before moving off the South Atlantic Coast. Large-scale ascent will subside over north FL during the day as the shortwave trough pivots east-northeastward across the southern Appalachians. This suggests the severe threat should diminish after late morning. ...Carolinas to Lower Mid-Atlantic... The northern portion of a slowly decaying QLCS should initially be elevated atop stable surface air in the lee of the Appalachians and parts of the Piedmont in the Carolinas to VA. It should eventually impinge on scant surface-based buoyancy later in the morning across the coastal Carolinas to perhaps the VA Tidewater. Amid extreme low-level shear/winds, any intensification to the thinning convective line may yield sporadic damaging winds and even a brief tornado. Still, bulk of guidance indicates this potential remains too low to warrant higher probabilities at this time. In the wake of this initial line, a minority of guidance does suggest that modest boundary-layer heating may occur from north-central NC into central MD. As a lobe of strong forcing for ascent accompanies the basal portion of the vigorous shortwave trough crossing the central Appalachians, a few low-topped cells may develop in the mid to late afternoon. With such intense lower-level flow, locally damaging gusts could accompany this activity. The level 1-MRGL risk has been expanded northwestward to account for this scenario, but spatial confidence is low with where a thunderstorm wind threat may begin. ..Grams/Thornton.. 02/16/2025 Read more

Mesoscale Discussion 0102 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0913 PM CST Sat Feb 15 2025 Areas affected...Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky Concerning...Tornado Watch 9... Valid 160313Z - 160415Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 9 continues. SUMMARY...Severe threat continues within WW009. DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms continues to track east northeast across portions of Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky. Storms embedded within the line have shown transient rotation, with instances of hail up to golf ball and damaging wind. With eastward advancements, storms have begun outpacing the more unstable air mass. Dew points into the 60s remain as far north as far southern Kentucky. However, 00z sounding from BNA shows low level CIN and poor distribution of MLCAPE within the profile. Across east Tennessee, dew points in the mid to upper 50s are more common with temperatures cooling rapidly with eastward extent. Shear profiles remain very strong, with deep layer shear around 45-50 kts and 0-3 km SRH around 600 m2/s2. Despite the decreasingly favorable thermal environment, deep layer shear will likely favor continued organization and risk for damaging wind, given recent trends in a more elongated line with bowing segments. Embedded MESOVORTEX within the line may still pose a risk for tornadoes. ..Thornton.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LMK...OHX...PAH...MEG...
