[html]MD 0608 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN AL INTO WESTERN GA
Mesoscale Discussion 0608
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0117 PM CDT Sun May 01 2022
Areas affected...parts of southern AL into western GA
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 011817Z - 012045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...A few instances of large hail and locally strong gusts are
possible this afternoon. Watch issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION...Latest regional radar imagery shows a couple loosely
organized convective clusters spreading slowly eastward across parts
of southern AL into western GA. This activity appears to be focused
along an E-W oriented differential mixing boundary, which is evident
via a low-level lapse rate gradient per the latest mesoanalysis. As
continued diurnal destabilization of a moist (upper 60s dewpoints)
airmass continues beneath modestly steep midlevel lapse rates,
sporadic large hail and locally strong gusts will be possible with
any loosely organized convective clusters. VWP data from MXX depicts
modest deep-layer flow/shear (0-6 km bulk shear near 25-30 knots),
which should generally limit the overall threat, precluding the need
for a watch.
