SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1224 AM CDT Sun Mar 16 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA... ...SUMMARY... Sporadic damaging wind swaths and a few tornadoes will be the primary threats this morning through dusk across a broad portion of the East. ...OH Valley/northern Middle Atlantic... Seasonally strong upper trough, though bimodal in nature, will shift into the OH Valley/Southeast by the end of the period. Ahead of the main trough, a lead mid-level speed max will translate across eastern OH/western PA with 500mb speeds in excess of 120kt. This feature will be partly responsible for sustaining a surface low that should track from southeast lower MI into ON by early afternoon. Additionally, LLJ is forecast to increase markedly across western PA early in the period, and this will aid moistening ahead of the short wave. Early this morning, an elongated corridor of convection/precipitation extends from the FL Panhandle, northeast into OH. Warm advection will likely maintain this activity which will be ongoing at the start of the period. Latest model guidance suggests a secondary band of convection will develop along/ahead of the front by mid-late morning, and an upward evolving, strongly forced line of storms, and a few embedded supercells, will surge east into western PA. Damaging winds seem plausible with this convection, and profiles also favor some risk for a few brief tornadoes. ...Southeast... Mid-level heights will fall across the southeastern U.S. early in the period as low-latitude jet core shifts east along the Gulf Coast into GA. This will ensure the primary synoptic front progresses steadily east through the period. By 18z the wind shift should extend from the southern Appalachians into the eastern FL Panhandle. Subsequent movement will result in the front advancing into the southern FL Peninsula by 17/12z. Scattered strong/severe convection, with some risk for supercells, will be noted ahead of the surging boundary. Forecast soundings exhibit very strong 0-6km bulk shear, and ample ESRH will be more than adequate for a risk of a few tornadoes. Steep mid-level lapse rates also suggest the more robust updrafts should generate hail. Overall, severe threat will shift east/southeast through the period. ..Darrow/Moore.. 03/16/2025 Read more

MD 0217 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 49... FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0217 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0900 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...much of central Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 49... Valid 160200Z - 160400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 49 continues. SUMMARY...The risk of strong tornadoes persists over watch area, especially over central Alabama. DISCUSSION...In the wake of tornadic storms which went across the BMX radar, a residual region of outflow remains across parts of Shelby, Talladega, Chilton and Coosa counties. Meanwhile, a very large complex of storms is coming up from the southwest. Very strong inflow winds exist ahead of this complex, which will continue to feed these storms and possibly enhance lift along the residual outflow from the earlier storms. Given over 400 m2/s2 0-1 SRH, it is possible that any interaction with the boundary could result in a strong tornado. The environment remains favorable extending farther south as well, where a north-south confluence line is noted ahead of the primary cold front, and including the Wilcox County cell. ..Jewell.. 03/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0216 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 48... FOR EASTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE
Mesoscale Discussion 0216 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0857 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...Eastern Middle Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 48... Valid 160157Z - 160400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 48 continues. SUMMARY...A damaging wind and tornado threat persist across parts of eastern Middle Tennessee, but is expected to continue waning heading into the late evening hours. DISCUSSION...Over the past hour, convection across eastern TN has shown signs of gradual weakening with decreasing lightning counts, and warming cloud top temperatures. However, convection that remains across the area continues to show signs of mid-level rotation, and the overall convective environment remains very strongly sheared within a broad, northward-lifting warm frontal zone. The kinematic environment was sampled well by the 00z FFC sounding, though prolonged convective overturning across much of TN is limiting buoyancy considerably more than was is depicted by the observed sounding. Although a localized severe threat continues for the short-term (next hour or so), continued diabatic cooling heading into the late evening should result in gradually diminishing severe potential. ..Moore.. 03/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
