Areas affected...Portions of southern/central MS into central AL and central/eastern GA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 301002Z - 301230Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated threat for hail, gusty winds, and perhaps a
brief tornado may persist over the next couple of hours. Watch
issuance appears unlikely at this time.

DISCUSSION...10Z surface observations show a convectively reinforced
boundary extending from northern LA into central MS/AL/GA. A recent
uptick in convective coverage has been noted across parts of
southern and central MS into central AL over the past hour or so.
Large-scale ascent across much of the Southeast remains nebulous
early this morning. But, modest low-level warm advection continues
over this region associated with a 25-35 kt southwesterly low-level
jet, which is likely aiding storms. The low-level flow is not overly
strong, and there is little veering with height in the low levels
per recent VWPs from area radars. Even so, strong deep-layer shear
of 45-50+ kt will be more than enough to support storm organization
if any storms can be sustained. There is also rich low-level
moisture and sufficient instability along/south of the boundary to
support surface-based storms.

Given the fairly long, straight hodographs in forecast soundings and
area VWPs, marginally severe hail would be possible if a supercell
can develop. Isolated strong/damaging winds could also occur with
any small bowing segments that can consolidate from ongoing
convection. The tornado threat is less clear given the previously
mentioned veered low-level flow, which is generally hampering 0-1-km
SRH. Regardless, a brief tornado still appears possible, with some
surface observations in east-central MS (KMEI) and central AL
(KSEM/KMGM) showing weak southerly surface winds. The overall severe
threat will probably remain more limited into central/eastern GA, as
MLCAPE gradually weakens with eastward extent. At this point, the
lack of more obvious large-scale forcing aloft may tend to keep the
overall severe threat isolated/marginal through the early morning
hours. Accordingly, watch issuance appears unlikely in the short
term.
