Mesoscale Discussion 0009 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0157 PM CST Sat Jan 01 2022 Areas affected...Northern MS into Far Northern AL and Southern Middle TN. Concerning...Tornado Watch 3...4...5... Valid 011957Z - 012130Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3, 4, 5 continues. SUMMARY...Development of a few discrete supercells capable of producing tornadoes and damaging wind gusts possible from northern MS into far northern AL and southern middle TN. DISCUSSION...Recent observations suggest the outflow boundary moving through western TN has become less defined near the TN/MS border, suggesting that much of warm sector across northern MS and adjacent northern AL/southern middle TN will likely stay free from the influence of this boundary. Additionally, the amount and intensity of the warm sector cells has continued to increase, with several cells producing lightning over the past hour. This development is occurring within an environment characterized by warm and moist low-levels and strong vertical shear. Recent GWX VAD also sampled 300 m2/s2 of 0-1 km storm-relative helicity. Expectation is for the storms currently in northern MS to organize/intensify further as they continue northeastward into a more sheared downstream environment. ..Mosier.. 01/01/2022 |
