DJN.83

&&

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 236 PM CDT MON APR 28 2014/
FORECAST AREA BRACING FOR A HIGH END SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THROUGH
THE EVENING. THE INCREASING TORNADO POTENTIAL HAS RESULTED IN THE
RECENT BUMPING UP OF THE DAY ONE SEVERE WEATHER RISK INTO THE HIGH
CATEGORY FOR NORTHWEST ALABAMA. THE 19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATED
THAT MID TO UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS HAD POOLED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
THE LATEST FEW 88-D IMAGES CONTINUED TO INDICATE THAT THE BROKEN LINE
OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WAS DEVELOPING AND MOVING NORTHEAST INTO
NORTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI TOWARD NORTHWEST ALABAMA AND SOUTHERN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE. CURRENT PROJECTIONS WOULD HAVE THE SEVERE STORMS
MOVING INTO NORTHWEST ALABAMA BY AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER 20Z. A
TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA UNTIL
02Z TONIGHT.

HAVE ANALYZED SOME SEVERE PARAMETERS AND EXPECT THAT MLCAPE VALUES
SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 1500-2500 J/KG...AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 00Z TONIGHT. LOW LEVEL
SHEAR CONTINUES TO BE INDICATED IN THE 50-70 KNOTS RANGE. 0-3 KM SRH
SHOULD INCREASE THROUGH 00Z TONIGHT TO AROUND 300 J/KG INTO THE
FORECAST AREA.

WITH THE FORECAST AREA EXPECTED TO BE WELL INTO THE WARM SECTOR
TONIGHT...HAVE CONTINUED WITH CURRENT WORDING IN ZONES TO HIGHLIGHT
THE SEVERE AND TORNADO THREAT FOR THE FORECAST AREA. THE CURRENT
TRENDING INDICATES THAT THE STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRAVERSE THE
FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT THE EVENING...WITH THE
SEVERE THREAT CONTINUING AFTER 06Z MAINLY INTO NORTHEAST ALABAMA AND
FAR EASTERN SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE. AFTER THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
MOVES EAST OF THE AREA BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z TUESDAY...THE PRECIP
CHANCES FOR THE REGION WILL DIMINISH WITH A BREAK IN PRECIP EXPECTED.
ALONG WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...THE POTENTIAL TRAINING OF
CELLS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT WILL NECESSITATE THE NEED TO
CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH THAT WILL REMAIN IN
EFFECT FOR THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY.

THE NEXT SHORTWAVE PIN WHEELING AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH
AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH ANOTHER ORGANIZED SEVERE
WEATHER EVENT EXPECTED FOR THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE AGAIN HIGHLIGHTED
THE MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORECAST DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD. HAVE BUMPED UP PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON/EVENING
HOURS ON TUESDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE EXPECTED STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WILL CONTINUE WITH LINGERING SHOWER/STORM
CHANCES THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY EAST OF INTERSTATE 65.
ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
ON WEDNESDAY...WILL RESULT IN KEEPING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN
THE FORECAST.

BY WEDNESDAY EVENING...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. AS AN UPPER TROUGH AT 500 MILLIBARS REMAINS ACROSS THE
OHIO AND INTO TENNESSEE VALLEY THROUGH SATURDAY. A NORTHWEST FLOW
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND THROUGH THE END OF THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIODS WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS EXPECTED.
HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSELY TOWARD A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF
MODEL TEMPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST TIME FRAME.
