Areas affected...Mid-Mississippi River Valley to the southern
Appalachians

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 012219Z - 020015Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Sporadic large hail and damaging winds will be possible
through the early evening hours from the Arklamiss region to the
southern Appalachians. Watch issuance is not anticipated.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms developing along a diffuse residual
frontal zone/differential heating boundary draped across the mid-MS
River Valley to the southern Appalachians have shown signs of steady intensification over the past hour via cloud-top cooling and an
increasing in vertically integrated ice. Temperatures warming into
the low 80s to the south of the boundary coupled with mid/upper 60s
dewpoints are supporting 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE across a broad swath
of the region, and 30-35 knot mid-level flow is support adequate
shear for some storm organization. However, weak low-level winds
(generally less than 10 knots) and steep 0-3 km lapse rates are
promoting rapid cold pool expansion that is limiting storm longevity
to some degree and favoring multicellular modes. A few stronger
storms will be capable of severe hail (1-1.5 inches in diameter) and
damaging gusts - especially if a more consolidated, cold-pool driven
cluster can become established. Overall, the severe threat is
expected to remain sufficiently isolated to preclude watch issuance
given regionally weak forcing for ascent.
