    Mesoscale Discussion 0342

    Areas affected...Portions of western/middle TN and western KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 021332Z - 021500Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Some severe threat will probably persist this morning as thunderstorms spread northeastward. Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...A loosely organized cluster of convection is ongoing
    this morning over southwestern TN and vicinity. While the boundary
    layer is only modestly unstable per 12Z BNA sounding and recent RAP
    forecast soundings over western TN, strong deep-layer shear
    associated with a pronounced mid/upper-level jet is present over the
    lower MS Valley into the TN Valley. Given the somewhat linear nature
    of the ongoing cluster, strong to damaging winds should be the main
    threat in the near term. But, the presence of a strong southwesterly
    low-level jet and effective SRH around 250-300 m2/s2 suggests that
    tornadoes will also be a concern with either line-embedded
    circulations, or with any supercells that can develop and persist.
    Trends will be closely monitored for possible watch issuance,
    pending signs of greater convective organization/intensity.
