Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0300 PM CDT Thu Mar 25 2021

Valid 252000Z - 261200Z

...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF FAR
EASTERN MISSISSIPPI INTO NORTHERN/CENTRAL ALABAMA AND SOUTHERN
TENNESSEE...

...SUMMARY...
Several long-tracked supercells are still expected this afternoon
into this evening from far eastern Mississippi into Alabama and
parts of middle and eastern Tennessee. The most persistent/intense
supercells will be capable of producing strong to violent tornadoes,
along with very large hail and substantial damaging winds.

...20Z Update...
Primary change with this update was to begin trimming severe
probabilities from the west across the lower MS Valley. As low-level
flow continues to veer over this region, the best severe potential
should shift into AL and vicinity through the remainder of the
afternoon and early evening. For more information on the near-term
severe threat across far eastern MS into northern/central AL, see
Mesoscale Discussion 256. Strong, long-track tornadoes still appear
likely across this region through the evening.

Farther north, additional convection should form later this
afternoon and evening across parts of western/middle TN and the mid
MS Valley as a warm front continues to lift northward and a
shortwave trough moves over these regions. All severe hazards appear
possible, including the potential for strong tornadoes given the
strength of the low-level flow/shear. A severe threat should
continue this evening into tonight across the lower OH Valley. For
more information on the short-term severe threat across
western/middle TN, see Mesoscale Discussion 257. Additional
information on the increasing severe threat over the mid MS Valley
can be found in Mesoscale Discussion 258.

..Gleason.. 03/25/2021

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1129 AM CDT Thu Mar 25 2021/

...An outbreak of tornadic supercells is expected this afternoon
into this evening from MS into AL and parts of TN, with long-track
strong to violent tornadoes possible...

...Synopsis...
A 1005 mb surface low in southeast AR will deepen gradually while
ejecting northeastward to southern IL this evening and northwestern
OH/southeastern Lower MI by the end of the period. This will occur
in conjunction with the northeastward ejection of a midlevel
shortwave trough from the Red River Valley of TX/OK toward Lake
Erie. As the surface cyclone moves northeastward and deepens,
boundary-layer dewpoints in the mid 60s to lower 70s will be drawn
northward across MS/AL/TN, in the wake of morning warm advection
storms (also associated with a subtle lead shortwave trough). The
moistening will occur beneath the northeast extent of an elevated
mixed layer plume with steep midlevel lapse rates of 8-9 C/km, which
was sampled by the CRP, LCH and JAN 12z soundings.

MLCAPE already exceeds 2000 J/kg across much of MS as of late
morning, and additional destabilization will occur within the warm
sector as surface temperatures warm into the mid 70s and near 70 F
dewpoints spread northward. The ongoing broken band of storms from
northern AL into central MS, along the low-level jet/moist axis,
will be a likely zone of intensifying, surface-based storms through
the afternoon. Deep-layer vertical shear is quite strong (effective
bulk shear of 60-70 kt) over the warm sector, and strong low-level
flow with strong low-level shear (effective SRH of 300-500 ms/s2)
will be maintained within the warm sector through the afternoon.
Given somewhat subtle forcing for ascent along pre-frontal bands
within the warm sector, scattered discrete or semi-discrete
supercells appears to be the primary convective mode through the
afternoon/evening as the warm sector spreads into TN.
Intensification of the ongoing and newly developing storms is
expected from southern/central MS northeastward into AL, from which
the primary supercell/tornado threat will evolve.

Given the moderate-strong buoyancy, moist low levels, long
hodographs with substantial low-level curvature, and primarily
discrete storms, the scenario favors long-lived, fast-moving
supercells capable of producing several strong-violent tornadoes
across parts of MS/AL/TN this afternoon into this evening, before
diminishing overnight as the primary shortwave trough passes to the
north. of the main warm sector.

A few severe storms may also form later this afternoon/evening
closer to the surface low track with all modes of severe possible,
though buoyancy and vertical shear will be weaker compared to areas
farther southeast. There may also be sufficient destabilization to
maintain a severe threat into the southern Appalachians along the
warm front.

 

I'd like to note the Supercell that keeps cycling this tornado is still on the ground. It started way back over in Green County Alabama and is now about to cross the Alabama State line into Floyd county GA. Incredible how this thing just won't quit and keeps cycling over and over. It has not been on the ground this entire estimated path though. It will recycle, lift and drop again. Conditions were perfect for it. If you'll remember the post earlier from the SPC for favorable development.

Estimated track of this supercell.

That one went 8 miles south of me. The one in green county now is on a direct path with me and @BamaTaco56
