    Mesoscale Discussion 2074
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0203 PM CST Wed Dec 29 2021

    Areas affected...portions of central MS

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

    Valid 292003Z - 292130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Potential exists for storms to become severe should they
    initiate. If storms develop and mature, damaging gusts and a few
    tornadoes would be the primary threats. Convective trends will
    continue to be monitored for the need of a WW issuance.

    DISCUSSION...South of a 1006 mb surface low and within the open warm
    sector, attempts at storm initiation and organization have been
    noted along a confluence axis roughly coinciding the LA/MS border.
    Agitated CU and occasional low-topped storms continue to become more
    widespread with time. However, deep-layer ascent remains relatively
    weak across central MS, with low-level convergence being negligible
    and upper support drifting away in tandem with an embedded 700 mb
    impulse over far western TN. As such, storm coverage and subsequent
    intensity are in question.=20

    Nonetheless, 6+ C/km low and mid-level lapse rates overspreading
    upper 60s F surface dewpoints, along with ample surface heating, are contributing to 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, where 45-55 kts of effective
    bulk shear is present. In addition, 19Z mesoanalysis shows 150-200
    m2/s2 effective SRH across central MS, with both deep and low-level
    shear increasing with northward extent. Any storm that can develop,
    mature, and become sustained would have the potential to produce
    damaging gusts, a few tornadoes, or perhaps a couple of severe
    hailstones. However, given the conditional nature of the severe
    threat, convective trends will continue to be monitored for the need
    of a WW issuance over the next few hours.
