Mesoscale Discussion 0572
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1230 PM CDT Thu Apr 27 2017
Areas affected...Far southeast AL...Central GA...Far western SC
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 271730Z - 271900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Radar trends are being monitored for a potential watch
across portions of central GA. Primary severe threat is expected to
be damaging wind gusts although hail and brief tornadoes are also
possible.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms within the ongoing line of storms
extending from far west-central GA into southeast AL have continued
to show sporadic intensification/updraft rotation with several
storms currently exhibiting low-level rotation. Diurnal heating
continues to destabilize the downstream environment with
temperatures across central GA now into the low to mid 80s. Recent
mesoanalysis suggests these surface temperatures amidst dewpoints
mid 60s are supportive of MLCAPE on the order of 1500 J/kg and
little to no CIN. Recent WAA development out ahead of the line
across west-central GA further supports the mesoanalysis estimation
of little to no CIN. Given the supportive downstream environment and
recent radar trends, a transition to more of a linear cluster
appears probable with a resultant threat for damaging wind gusts
across much of central GA. However, this transition has not
completely occurred yet and most of the current radar signatures
across far southeast AL and far west-central GA are indicative of a
few semi-discrete supercells embedded within the line. Trends with
much of this development thus far is for transient rotation
supportive of brief tornadoes and gusty winds.
