Mesoscale Discussion Out For Us

Here's the discussion given by the SPC.


RISK FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP/INCREASE THROUGH EARLY/MID AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF KY/TN AND NORTHERN AL INTO WV/FAR WESTERN VA. GIVEN EXPECTATIONS FOR A RELATIVELY ISOLATED/MARGINAL SEVERE RISK...CURRENT THINKING IS THAT A WATCH IS UNLIKELY.

The SPC is thinking that storms should continue to form and grow in and around the MSD areas throught the afternoon hours. Damaging winds is the main threat, but there is also a slight chance at some severe hail.

Yeah Clay, I was looking at that and the storms won't have much of a problem firing. The CAPE in Northern Alabama is just at 500 and those storms are packing a nice wallop.
