MD 2314 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 715... FOR PORTIONS OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE INTO NORTH-CENTRAL ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 2314 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0818 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Areas affected...portions of middle Tennessee into north-central Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 715... Valid 100218Z - 100345Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 715 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 715. Damaging gusts appear to be the main threat, though a tornado or two cannot be ruled out over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have consolidated into a QLCS across middle TN into northern AL. Buoyancy continues to gradually wane over the region, though impressive shear profiles remain (i.e. the latest HTX VAD, which shows an elongated, curved hodograph). Given the linear storm mode, damaging gusts should be the main threat as the QLCS progresses across middle TN and northern AL (the remainder of Tornado Watch 715). However, given the impressive shear profiles, any portion of the line where a sustained mesovortex can develop may support the development of a tornado. ..Squitieri.. 12/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 2312 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INTO NORTHEASTERN KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 2312 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0559 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Areas affected...portions of central into northeastern Kentucky Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 092359Z - 100230Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat remains possible across portions of central into northeastern Kentucky. A couple of damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado cannot be ruled out into the early overnight hours. DISCUSSION...Though surface temperatures have been gradually lowering with the onset of nocturnal cooling, low-level moisture continues to gradually increase with ongoing warm-air advection. Coincidentally, an increase in low-level shear has been noted as a 40 kt 850 mb jet overspreads eastern Kentucky, contributing to enlarging/elongating hodographs. However, the nocturnal cooling is also contributing to stabilization of the boundary layer, lowering the confidence in effective ingestion of the more favorable SRH. At the moment, the severe threat is expected to be isolated at best. Nonetheless, the presence of an impressively sheared environment suggests that a couple of damaging gusts or a tornado could manifest from any storms that ingest surface-based parcels, even for brief periods of time. As such, a WW issuance appears unlikely, though conditions will continue to be monitored. ..Squitieri/Goss.. 12/09/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 2313 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 715... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ALABAMA INTO MIDDLE AND EASTERN TENNESSEE AND SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 2313 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0639 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Areas affected...portions of northern Alabama into middle and eastern Tennessee and southeast Kentucky Concerning...Tornado Watch 715... Valid 100039Z - 100215Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 715 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 715. Damaging gusts appear to be the main threat, though a couple of tornadoes remain possible, especially with storms closer to the TN/AL border. The severe threat may persist eastward into northeast AL and southeastern TN, where a WW issuance may ultimately be warranted. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have recently been merging into a loosely organized squall line across middle TN into eastern MS and far northwest AL, with MRMS mosaic radar data showing these storms percolating in intensity. Low-level shear should remain strong across the region as a 35+ kt low-level jet overspreads the TN Valley (per 00Z mesoanalysis). Given linear storm modes, damaging gusts should become the primary threat into the evening hours. However, a few discrete cells remain near the AL/TN border, and these storms have the best chance at producing a couple of tornadoes into early tonight. Despite waning buoyancy, the strong deep-layer and low-level shear should compensate amid 500 J/kg MLCAPE to support some continuance of severe potential into northeast AL and southeastern TN. Though damaging gusts may be the main threat, given linear structures, the elongated and curved hodographs suggest that some tornado potential will also exist. A downstream Tornado Watch issuance may ultimately be needed. ..Squitieri/Goss.. 12/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...MRX...JKL...FFC...LMK...OHX...HUN...
