SPC Mesoscale Discussion: Severe Thunderstorm Watch 34…
SUMMARY…Strong/severe storms are moving southeast across central Alabama with large hail as the primary threat.
DISCUSSION…Severe storms are developing across portions central Alabama and will continue moving southeast over central/southern Alabama with large hail as the primary threat given cool mid-level temperatures. The storm environment is characterized by MLCAPE of 250-700 J/kg and 35-45 knots of effective bulk shear and the severe threat should continue until around sunset. After sunset, daytime heating will wane and storms are likely to weaken and become sub-severe. Damaging winds are also possible given the well-mixed boundary layer and if the developing supercells can form a quasi-linear segment in the next hour or two.
