Mesoscale Discussion 0549
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0640 PM CDT Sat Apr 22 2017
Areas affected...Extreme southwest TN /western NC...northwest
GA...portions of central into northeast AL
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 158...
Valid 222340Z - 230045Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 158
continues.
SUMMARY...A general weakening trend is expected heading into the
evening hours. A few strong/marginally severe storms may persist
another 1-2 hours, producing strong wind gusts and perhaps small
hail. However, threat will diminish with time and eastward extent
and a downstream watch is not expected.
DISCUSSION...Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms along a line
from far western NC/southwest TN through central AL into southern MS
will continue to track east this evening. In general, recent
weakening trend should continue with loss of daytime heating and a
stabilizing boundary layer. Modest midlevel lapse rates and adequate
deep layer shear should sustain storms into the evening, and in the
short term /next 1-2 hours/ some strong gusts and small hail will be
possible. Given the marginal nature of the threat downstream of WW
158 and overall weakening trend, a downstream watch is not expected,
and WW 158 likely will be able to be canceled before the 02z
expiration time.
