MD 0418 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 124...125... FOR NORTHERN MS...NORTHWEST AL...SOUTHWEST TN
Mesoscale Discussion 0418 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0618 PM CDT Sat Apr 05 2025 Areas affected...Northern MS...northwest AL...southwest TN Concerning...Tornado Watch 124...125... Valid 052318Z - 060045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 124, 125 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for tornadoes, damaging wind, and isolated hail will spread eastward through the evening. DISCUSSION...A small storm cluster with embedded supercells has evolved across north-central MS this evening, with another cluster noted into southwest TN. The environment downstream of the southern cluster remains favorable for tornadic supercells, with strong buoyancy (with MLCAPE of 2000-3000+ J/kg), favorable boundary-layer moisture and deep-layer shear, and locally backed surface winds supporting 0-1 km SRH above 200 m2/s2. Despite the complex storm mode, the presence of embedded supercells within this environment will continue to support a tornado threat, including strong-tornado potential. One or more swaths of severe/damaging wind will also be possible with these clusters, along with isolated hail. Buoyancy is somewhat weaker into southern TN, but some threat for all severe hazards may accompany the northernmost cluster as it encounters a downstream outflow boundary. ..Dean.. 04/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

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.

MD 0417 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY...EASTERN TENNESSEE...AND FAR WESTERN VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0417 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0542 PM CDT Sat Apr 05 2025 Areas affected...parts of eastern Kentucky...eastern Tennessee...and far western Virginia Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 052242Z - 052345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Convective intensity is expected to decrease with time across portions of eastern Tennessee, eastern Kentucky, and far western Virginia, however a threat for damaging gusts and embedded tornadoes may persist. A watch may be needed. DISCUSSION...Storms are currently ongoing across middle Tennessee and central Kentucky including a bowing segment impacting the Nashville metro area with a few tornadoes and a 58-kt gust at BNA. Ahead of these storms a strong low-level jet continues, which maintains a threat for damaging winds in the near term. This low-level jet also provides low-level shear (40-50 kts 0-1 km shear) to maintain a threat for tornadoes both in this bowing segment and in any other discrete storms. An ACARS profile from 2046 UTC from BNA shows modest low-level buoyancy to support these threats, as well, however it also shows warm temperatures aloft, with 700-500 mb lapse rates near 6 C/km. These warm temperatures aloft combined with a decrease in surface moisture with eastward extent may limit the eastward extent of the threat for damaging gusts and tornadoes. Due to the decrease in buoyancy with time, expect convective intensity to trend downward over the next couple hours. Despite this, a watch may be needed to cover the wind and embedded tornado threat, and convective trends will be monitored. ..Supinie/Hart.. 04/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
