WW 61 SEVERE TSTM AL AR LA MS 232205Z - 240500Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 61 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 505 PM CDT Sun Mar 23 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northwest Alabama Southeast Arkansas Northeast Louisiana Central Mississippi * Effective this Sunday afternoon from 505 PM until Midnight CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of producing large to very large hail around 1.5-2.5 inches in diameter are expected to develop and spread eastward through the evening. Damaging winds up to 60-70 mph may also occur, especially if convection can develop into a line. A tornado or two also appears possible. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles east and west of a line from 25 miles west northwest of Muscle Shoals AL to 30 miles east southeast of Natchez MS.

MD 0255 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY INTO NORTHWEST AL
Mesoscale Discussion 0255 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0445 PM CDT Sun Mar 23 2025 Areas affected...portions of the lower MS Valley into northwest AL Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 232145Z - 232245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms capable of hail and damaging gusts are becoming more likely this afternoon/evening. A few supercells may also favor some tornado a risk. A WW is likely needed. DISCUSSION...As of 2140 UTC, regional visible and radar imagery showed initial convective updrafts were steadily deepening over parts of the lower MS Valley ahead of a slow moving cold front. Ongoing within a broad and weakly forced warm air advection regime, scattered thunderstorm development appears likely over the next couple of hours. Surface temperatures in the low 80s and dewpoints in the low to middle 60s F are supporting 2000-2500 J/kg of MLCAPE with relatively steep low and mid-level lapse rates. Deep-layer shear around 35-40 kt will gradually strengthen along with the low-level jet this evening. This will favor a mixed convective mode with bowing segments and few supercells likely. Large hail and damaging winds appear to be the most relevant threats initially given the steep lapse rates and fairly large buoyancy. Some tornado risk may evolve if more dominant supercells or bowing segments emerge with slightly stronger low-level shear this evening. Storms may eventually merge with additional connection developing closer to the front, as indicated by some hi-res guidance. This would favor a greater risk for damaging winds or a brief tornado as a loose line or cluster develops with eastward extent. Given the steady increase in convection and the potential for severe wind and hail, a watch appears likely soon. ..Lyons/Gleason.. 03/23/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0254 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL/EASTERN ARKANSAS...NORTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI...WESTERN AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 0254 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0129 PM CDT Sun Mar 23 2025 Areas affected...much of central/eastern Arkansas...northwestern Mississippi...western and middle Tennessee and adjacent portions of southern Kentucky Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 231829Z - 232100Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Scattered intensifying thunderstorm development appears increasingly probable through 3-6 PM CDT. This may include a few supercells capable of producing large hail, and perhaps the risk for a tornado or two across western into middle Tennessee and adjacent portions of northwestern Mississippi/southern Kentucky. Trends are being monitored for one or more severe weather watches. DISCUSSION...Latest model output suggests that the primary short wave trough is beginning to pivot northeast of the lower Missouri Valley through the upper Mississippi Valley. This is preceded by a less prominent mid-level perturbation, but strongest lower/mid-tropospheric wind fields, forecast to continue east-northeastward through the Ohio Valley. It appears that this will include an intensifying southwesterly jet core, in excess of 50 kt around 850 mb, across and northeast of the Kentucky Bluegrass. Within a moistening pre-cold frontal environment trailing this feature, Rapid Refresh forecast soundings indicate that flow around 850 mb will tend to veer, but may be maintained in excess of 30-40 kt across western into middle Tennessee through mid to late afternoon, while low-level hodographs undergo more substantive shrinking into central/southern Arkansas. Still, beneath a capping elevated mixed-layer across the Ark-La-Tex into Mid South, the low-level moisture return, coupled with increasing insolation, is contributing to substantive boundary-layer destabilization. It appears that this may include CAPE on the order of 2000 to 1000 J/kg (from southwest to northeast), in the presence of weakening mid-level inhibition, within the next few hours. As the leading edge of cooling aloft gradually overspreads the Mid South toward Ark-La-Tex, guidance indicates that the initiation of scattered, but increasing, thunderstorm development is probable by 20-23Z. Stronger storms will pose a risk for producing large hail. Where low-level hodographs remain more enlarged and clockwise curved, a couple of supercells with potential to produce tornadoes may not be out of the question across northwestern Mississippi through western and middle Tennessee and adjacent portions of southern Kentucky. ..Kerr/Hart.. 03/23/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0302 PM CDT Sun Mar 23 2025 Valid 251200Z - 311200Z A large-scale upper-level trough positioned over the eastern CONUS on D3/Tuesday will shift east, while an upper-level ridge over the western CONUS expands and shifts eastward through D6/Friday. Medium-range guidance suggests a weak short-wave trough will accompany the weak flow regime within the translating ridge, overspreading the southern High Plains on D5/Thursday. Thereafter, guidance suggests a stronger mid-level short-wave trough will enter the West and translate quickly eastward into the southern/central Plains on D6/Friday and lasting through D7/Saturday. However, medium-range guidance diverges considerably after D5/Thursday, resulting in large uncertainty in the timing and magnitude of the second trough evolution. ...D5/Thursday... The aforementioned weak mid-level trough along with southerly return flow may result isolated dry thunderstorm potential across areas of New Mexico. With low predictability in the extended range, no probabilities have been introduced, though ERCs in this region range from 70%-90% and the overall pattern in the coming days will support continued drying of fuels. ...D6/Friday - D7/Saturday... Widespread critical fire-weather conditions appear possible across portions of the southern High Plains as a second/stronger mid-level trough enters the region. As noted, predictability of the evolving mid-level trough remains somewhat low, with still considerable disagreement among GFS/ECMWF 12z guidance. However, the overall pattern evident suggests lee cyclogenesis is probable in this time frame across the southern High Plains, and guidance is suggestive of potential for higher-end probabilities across more expansive areas on both days. For now a small area of 40% probabilities has been introduced on D7/Saturday, confined to the region exhibiting the most agreement at this time. Adjustments are likely in later outlooks as timing/evolution details become more certain. ..Karstens.. 03/23/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
