Latest SPC Mesoscale Discussion Concerning Storms in Central Alabama
SUMMARY…An isolated wind damage threat will likely continue for a couple more hours across western and central Alabama. The threat should be too marginal for weather watch issuance.
DISCUSSION…The latest RAP shows a pocket of strong instability across far eastern Mississippi into western and central Alabama where MLCAPE is estimated in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. A bowing line segments is ongoing just to the west of the instability max near the Mississippi-Alabama state line. This line will continue to move eastward into north-central Alabama over the next couple of hours. Low-level lapse rates are steep ahead of the line and an isolated wind damage threat should be maintained. But the threat should be too marginal for weather watch issuance.
