    Mesoscale Discussion 0390
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0104 AM CDT Sat May 12 2018

    Areas affected...Southern/central IA...Far east-central NE...Far
    northwest IL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 120604Z - 120800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail is possible across the region over the next
    few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage has increased over the past hour
    as a strengthening low-level jet and resulting warm-air advection
    across the frontal zone lifts parcels to their LFC. Recent
    mesoanalysis estimates effective shear around 40 to 50 kt amidst
    MUCAPE near 1000-1500 J/kg. Given these factors, predominant storm
    mode is expected to be multicells with only loosely organized
    updrafts. Hail will be possible with the stronger storms and as a
    result of cell interactions/mergers. The stable boundary layer in
    place should preclude any damaging wind gusts. Isolated and marginal
    nature of the severe threat will likely preclude the need for a
    watch.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0390
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0312 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of western/central Alabama...Western
    Florida Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 182012Z - 182215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms will move into the discussion area late this
    afternoon and early evening. Observational and numerical model
    trends both suggest and increase in the potential for damaging winds
    and tornadoes. A tornado watch will likely be issued by 4 PM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...Afternoon boundary-layer mixing has reduced dewpoints
    across the discussion area by 1-3 F. Still, modifying the 18Z BMX
    sounding with surface observations across the region suggests that
    capping is eroding across southern Alabama and vicinity with
    destabilization perhaps a few more hours away in central Alabama.
    Latest surface analysis shows a deepening area of surface pressure
    in Louisiana into western Mississippi. With the continued approach
    of an upper-level trough, continued deepening of the surface low is
    anticipated through the overnight period. This mass response will
    increase theta-e advection into the western Florida Panhandle and
    Alabama helping to boost MLCAPE values 500-1500 J/kg by early
    evening.

    Observational trends in KDGX and KLIX VAD profiles have shown a
    large increase in low level hodograph curvature and SRH. These
    trends should continue as the trough shifts eastward. Guidance has
    suggested a marked increase in the low-level jet across much of
    Alabama during the 7-11 PM CDT time period. Given these expected
    favorable low-level shear parameters along with effective deep-layer
    shear of around 60 kts, organized convection with mid and low-level
    rotation appears likely. A tornado watch will be needed for this
    area. Aside from the tornado threat, strong winds fields will
    support a threat for damaging wind gusts as well.
