Mesoscale Discussion 1538 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0756 AM CDT Fri Jul 05 2024 Areas affected...eastern Kentucky...southern Ohio...western West Virginia...northeastern Tennessee and far western Virginia. Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 051256Z - 051530Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...The atmosphere is destabilizing this morning across the Tennessee/Ohio Valley which may support an increased severe weather threat. DISCUSSION...A line of storms has continued through much of the overnight period with 30 to 40 knot convective wind gusts and sporadic wind damage. The airmass ahead of these storms is very moist with dewpoints in the mid 70s and a mean mixing ratio of 17.8 g/kg on the 12Z BNA RAOB. In addition, the wind profile is more favorable than anticipated with 40 knots of effective shear. Inhibition will be eroded by mid to late morning as temperatures warm into the mid to upper 80s ahead of this line of storms. Modifying the 12Z BNA RAOB for mid 80F temperatures suggests 2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE with a mostly uncapped surface parcel. Therefore, expect the storms in this line to intensify by mid to late morning with an increasing damaging wind threat. The 12Z ILN RAOB showed significant drying from 00Z, indicating the prohibitive environment north of the front which is currently across southern Ohio. Therefore, expect the severe weather threat to be confined to areas south of this boundary. ..Bentley/Smith.. 07/05/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
