    Mesoscale Discussion 0090
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0926 AM CST Thu Feb 07 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of the Mid South to the lower OH Valley

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 071526Z - 071700Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging gusts will be possible through about
    18z, though the severe threat may have peaked already and the need
    for a watch is unclear.

    DISCUSSION...A squall line with some embedded minor bowing
    structures will continue to move east-northeastward through early
    afternoon immediately in advance of a strong surface cold front.
    The warm sector has spread as far north as the OH River in KY, where boundary-layer dewpoints have increased to the lower 60s with
    surface temperatures in the mid-upper 60s. Widespread clouds will
    slow surface heating ahead of the squall line, and no appreciable
    increase in low-level moisture is expected today (based on upstream observations/12z soundings). Thus, a marginally unstable
    thermodynamic environment will persist into early afternoon, as the stronger/deeper forcing for ascent spreads northeastward toward the
    Great Lakes. The net result will be a tendency for convection to
    become shallower/weaker with time from south-to-north along the
    frontal squall line, and the relatively greater threat for a few
    damaging gusts is expected across the lower OH Valley. Given the
    marginal buoyancy and less favorable phasing of ascent/vertical
    shear with the warm sector with time, the severe threat has probably
    peaked and a watch may not be necessary. Still, the lower OH Valley
    area will be monitored closely for any short-term upswing in the
    damaging wind threat.
