    Mesoscale Discussion 0119
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0540 PM CST Thu Feb 21 2019

    Areas affected...portions of central Alabama into central Georgia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 212340Z - 220145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Risk for a brief tornado associated with low-topped
    convection will exist over the next few hours. Watch issuance is
    not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar continues to show generally
    weak/low-topped convection -- producing little in the way of
    lightning -- across portions of Alabama and Georgia. Ample
    low-topped CAPE and sufficient shear for storm rotation exists
    across this region, near a weak central Alabama frontal wave and the associated/eastward-extending warm front. However, the larger-scale environment remains generally unsupportive of stronger/more
    organized convection, with short-wave ridging aloft to gradually
    increase across the region tonight.

    However, a few stronger cells near the aforementioned warm front
    have exhibited organization/low-level rotation over the past hour or
    so; specifically, a cell which is exiting northeast Harris County GA
    and moving into southern Meriwether County has exhibited sustained
    low-level rotation and appears capable of producing a weak tornado
    as it interacts with low-level vorticity in the vicinity of the
    surface warm front.

    Though a few additional cells may also follow a similar evolution
    this evening, overall risk is expected to remain limited/local --
    and thus watch issuance is not anticipated.
