Mesoscale Discussion 0978 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0157 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024 Areas affected...portions of southern Kentucky into northern and Middle Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 315... Valid 261857Z - 262030Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 315 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 315. Damaging gusts will be the main threat, and a tornado cannot be ruled out. Severe weather is most likely wherever thunderstorms can ingest the warmer airmass. Local spatial and temporal extensions of Tornado Watch 315 may be necessary. DISCUSSION...While the earlier QLCS recently progressed out of Tornado Watch 315 (into eastern KY), a second line of thunderstorms continues to move east-southeast over southern KY into northern and middle TN. This line of storms is trailing the previous QLCS, atop a cooler and stable airmass. Much of this line may remain on the cool side of the baroclinic zone, with limited severe potential. However, the southern flank of the line may interact with the baroclinic boundary and potentially ingest surface-based air parcels. Should this occur, damaging gusts will be possible and a tornado cannot be ruled out. Tornado Watch 315 expires at 2000Z, so a temporal extension of the watch may be needed. A spatial extension of the watch may also be needed if the line of storms can build farther south. ..Squitieri.. 05/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
