    Areas affected...much of Kentucky...Tennessee...Arkansas...northern
    Mississippi and Alabama

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 294...

    Valid 210320Z - 210515Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 294 continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat of severe weather continues across a large area
    from AR to the OH river with multiple potential corridors of severe.

    DISCUSSION...A strongly unstable and sheared air mass currently
    extends from AR to KY, and southward into MS and northern AL. The
    synoptic setup continues to be favorable tonight for continued
    development with cooling aloft and a jet max diving southeast out of
    MO.

    Currently, severe storms extend from the front along the OH river
    southward across eastern KY and TN where supercells were noted on
    radar. These storms are located near the eastern extent of the most
    unstable air, but are being supported by west/southwest low-level
    winds. Some of these cells may have tornado potential, along with
    large hail and damaging winds. The storms to the north along the OH
    river are more linear in mode, and clearly contain damaging wind
    potential. This line could potentially exhibit QLCS structure at
    times.

    To the west, a rapid increase of storms has occurred across central
    AR, and this cluster will likely persist into MS with mainly a
    damaging wind and hail threat. A tornado cannot be ruled out
    embedded within this line.

    Meanwhile, middle and western TN has remained free of storms except
    for a few showers earlier this evening that eventually turned into
    supercells across eastern TN. The environment over middle TN
    continues to be quite favorable, conditionally, for supercells,
    including the threat of tornadoes. However, there is currently
    little focus to initiate storms. That said, cooling aloft persists
    and there is little if any CIN. An earlier attempt at a storm was
    seen recently across southern middle TN, suggesting other attempts
    could follow this evening. Therefore, the area will remain under a
    tornado watch.
