    Mesoscale Discussion 1623
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0852 PM CST Mon Nov 05 2018

    Areas affected...south-central KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 060252Z - 060345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe risk will probably develop northward into
    south-central KY coincident with the advancing warm front. Isolated
    damaging gusts will be the primary severe threat but a brief/weak
    mesovortex capable of damage is also possible.

    DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a mature southwest-northeast
    oriented squall line from west-central KY southwestward into western
    TN. Surface analysis places a warm front draped west-east and
    bisecting the squall line near the KY/TN border east and then arcing
    southward to near the TN/AL/GA border, where a stable low-level
    airmass has yet to erode east of the Cumberland Plateau.

    The KOHX VAD shows an intense low-level wind profile with 50+ kt at
    1km AGL. A large clockwise-curved hodograph is present but
    surface-based buoyancy is meager over northern middle TN per the 00Z
    Nashville sounding. As this airmass gradually moves northward and south-central KY becomes weakly unstable (100-200 J/kg SBCAPE), the
    potential for isolated damaging gusts associated with bowing
    segments will increase via horizontal momentum transport. Any risk
    for a tornado will remain very modest and likely of the
    mesovortex-process variety---limited in potential intensity/duration
    to weak/short-lived EF0-lower EF1 magnitudes.
