    Mesoscale Discussion 0634

    0224 PM CDT Sun Jun 03 2018

    Areas affected...eastern Kentucky...eastern Tennessee...western
    North Carolina...northern Georgia...much of Alabama...and a small
    part of Upstate South Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 031924Z - 032030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms developing in the discussion area are in a strongly
    unstable environment and may produce damaging wind gusts and hail.
    Convective trends will be monitored for a WW issuance, although the
    probability of a WW is low.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered convection continues to gradually deepen
    along a southeastward-moving cold front and in localized areas
    across northern Georgia and western North Carolina. These storms
    are in a strongly unstable and weakly capped airmass, with SBCAPE
    values ranging from 2000-3000 J/kg in Kentucky/Tennessee to around
    4000+ J/kg in eastern Alabama. As storms continue to deepen and
    realize the instability, damaging downbursts and hail will become
    more likely on at least an isolated basis. Weak low-level shear and
    20-30 kt northwesterly mid-level flow will foster outflow-dominant
    storms, and upscale growth into clusters and small linear segments
    are possible through early evening.

    Convective trends will be monitored for areas of heightened severe
    risk focused near any localized areas of greater convective coverage
    and/or linear organization. Latest HRRR and Nam4 guidance suggest
    that this threat may be highest across eastern Alabama and western
    Georgia. If this scenario can materialize, a Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch may be needed, although the probabilities of this occurring
    are currently around 20%.
