    Mesoscale Discussion 0002

    Areas affected...parts of western and Middle Tennessee into Kentucky

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

    Valid 010331Z - 010600Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated storms, perhaps severe, are possible from central
    Kentucky into northern Tennessee, with more widespread storms likely
    after 06Z along the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Damaging gusts or a
    tornado will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has recently increased from northern into
    central KY, extending southwestward into parts of TN. Although
    surface temperatures are cool, MLCIN is not particularly strong. In
    addition, 0-3km CAPE of 100-150 J/kg is currently analyzed across KY
    and TN, with relatively cool 700 mb temperatures.

    Deep-layer shear is very strong, at around 70 kt, with effective SRH
    of 250-300 m2/s2. Lift is currently subtle from warm advection. It
    is unclear weather the small cells now over KY and TN will mature
    into supercells, but conditionally, lift and perhaps total MLCAPE
    are the limiting factors.=20=20

    A higher-confidence increase in storms is expected after 06Z as
    large-scale lift increases, with most CAMs depicting a corridor of
    storms near the KY/TN border. While this line would be oriented
    parallel to the deep-layer shear, SRH could still favor a brief
    tornado, in addition to damaging wind threat should bows form.
