MD 0420 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 123...125...127... FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST TX INTO NORTHERN LA...WESTERN MS...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST AR
Mesoscale Discussion 0420 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0839 PM CDT Sat Apr 05 2025 Areas affected...Extreme southeast TX into northern LA...western MS...and extreme southeast AR Concerning...Tornado Watch 123...125...127... Valid 060139Z - 060315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 123, 125, 127 continues. SUMMARY...Some tornado and damaging-wind threat will persist into late evening. DISCUSSION...Despite the presence of favorable buoyancy (with MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg) and strong deep-layer shear, convection has struggled to organize this evening from the Sabine into the lower MS Valleys, likely due to warm temperatures aloft and very weak midlevel lapse rates, as observed on the 00Z JAN/LCH/LIX soundings. However, those soundings also depict rich boundary-layer moisture and strong low-level shear/SRH, resulting in a conditionally favorable tornadic supercell environment. It remains uncertain if any supercells can mature and stay along/ahead of an outflow-reinforced front into late evening. However, any increase in storm organization would result in a corresponding increase in the tornado and damaging-wind threat. Even if supercells struggle to mature, there will be some potential for one or more upscale-growing clusters to develop with time, which could pose an increasing threat of damaging wind. With the severe threat expected to develop east of the current watches with time, new watch issuance and/or local watch extension may eventually be needed. ..Dean/Hart.. 04/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0419 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 124...125... FOR NORTHEAST MS...NORTHERN AL...SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN
Mesoscale Discussion 0419 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0815 PM CDT Sat Apr 05 2025 Areas affected...Northeast MS...northern AL...southern middle TN Concerning...Tornado Watch 124...125... Valid 060115Z - 060245Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 124, 125 continues. SUMMARY...A threat for all severe hazards will continue into late evening. New watch issuance is likely by 9 PM CDT. DISCUSSION...A cluster of intense supercells is ongoing across extreme northeast MS this evening, with multiple spotter and radar-confirmed tornadoes over the last 60-90 minutes. A trailing storm cluster into north-central MS has also shown signs of increasing organizations. The environment from north-central/northeast MS into extreme northwest AL and extreme southwest/southern middle TN remains favorable for tornadic supercells, with favorably backed surface winds, rich boundary-layer moisture, moderate to strong buoyancy, and increasing low-level flow/shear (as noted on the KGWX VWP). This environment continues to support a threat of strong tornadoes, as well as localized large to very large hail and damaging winds. Any further upscale growth could result in potential for larger-scale swaths of damaging winds as storms move east-northeastward with time. Downstream into a larger portion of northern AL and southern middle TN, lower dewpoints (dropping to the lower 60s F) and weaker buoyancy are noted in current observations and analyses. However, the low-level jet will remain strong through the evening/night, and some moisture recovery will be possible in advance of the ongoing convection. This will support a continued threat of all severe hazards well past the scheduled 9 PM CDT expiration time of WW 124. As a result, new watch issuance is expected soon, which may extend into downstream areas of north-central/northeast AL and southern/eastern TN. ..Dean/Hart.. 04/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 124 TORNADO AL KY TN 051845Z - 060200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 124 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 145 PM CDT Sat Apr 5 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northwest Alabama Southern Kentucky Western and Middle Tennessee * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 145 PM until 900 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible Widespread damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A well-organized bow echo will continue east-northeastward this afternoon, while other semi-discrete supercells may develop ahead of it, and southward into the warm sector. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 80 statute miles north and south of a line from 65 miles north northwest of Muscle Shoals AL to 55 miles east of Nashville TN. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 122...WW 123... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 23040. ...Guyer Read more
