MD 0915 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 305...308... FOR SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
Mesoscale Discussion 0915 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0814 PM CDT Tue May 20 2025 Areas affected...Southern Appalachians Concerning...Tornado Watch 305...308... Valid 210114Z - 210315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 305, 308 continues. SUMMARY...A tornado, wind-damage and large-hail threat will continue across parts of the southern Appalachians over the next few hours. A strong tornado will be possible. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a mix of supercells and short-line segments ongoing from east-central Tennessee southward into northern Alabama. The airmass ahead of this convection is unstable, with the RAP showing SBCAPE in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range. The instability, along with large-scale ascent associated with a shortwave trough moving through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, will maintain a severe threat with the stronger cells. The latest WSR-88D VWP at Morristown, TN has 0-6 km shear near 55 knots, and 0-3 km storm-relative helicity around 200 m2/s2. This will be favorable for supercells. The more dominant supercells could have a tornado threat, and potential for wind damage and large hail. The wind-damage threat could also be concentrated along and ahead of the more intense short-line segments. The severe threat may become more isolated with eastward extent, as instability gradually becomes weaker this evening. ..Broyles/Gleason.. 05/21/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0914 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 306... FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0914 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0712 PM CDT Tue May 20 2025 Areas affected...Parts of central Louisiana Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 306... Valid 210012Z - 210145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 306 continues. SUMMARY...Severe hail and locally damaging gusts remain possible across parts of central Louisiana -- within Severe Thunderstorm Watch 306. While a localized severe risk may spread southward out of the watch, a downstream watch is not currently expected. DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms with a couple deep/embedded cores is ongoing across central Louisiana along the tail-end of a cold front draped across the region. Around 50 kt of 0-6 km shear (per POE VWP data) oriented mostly parallel to the front is favoring congealing of cold pools, though the strong shear and around 3000 J/kg MLCAPE is yielding robust embedded updrafts. Severe hail and locally damaging wind gusts remain possible with this activity. With time, storms may spread southward out of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 306. While there may be a continued localized severe risk, current thinking is that the overall risk will likely remain too isolated/limited for a downstream watch -- especially given weak large-scale ascent and gradually increasing nocturnal static stability. ..Weinman.. 05/21/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 308 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 725 PM EDT Tue May 20 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northern Georgia Eastern Kentucky Far Southwest North Carolina Eastern Tennessee Far Southwest Virginia * Effective this Tuesday night and Wednesday morning from 725 PM until 200 AM EDT. * Primary threats include...

Primary severe potential will exist through late evening immediately ahead of this activity from eastern Tennessee through the central Alabama vicinity. Convection will move east across the pronounced MLCAPE gradient across the southern Appalachians in the next few hours, yielding a more isolated/weakening severe threat overnight into the Carolinas. Large buoyancy persists ahead of the Lower MS Valley storms.

Valid 202247Z - 210045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 305 continues. SUMMARY...A threat for tornadoes, very large hail and wind damage will continue over the next couple of hours across far northern Alabama. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Huntsville, shows two intense supercells across far northern Alabama. These storms are located near an axis of moderate instability, where the RAP has MLCAPE around 2500 J/kg. The latest WSR-88D VWP in the vicinity of the storms has 0-6 km shear of 45 to 50 knots, 0-3 km storm-relative helicity near 200 m2/s2, and a curved hodograph. This environment will continue to support intense supercell development. A tornado will be possible over the next hour, especially as these two supercells interact with each other. The supercells could also produce very large hail and wind damage. ..Broyles.. 05/20/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...OHX...HUN...
