Mesoscale Discussion 0949

   Areas affected...portions of eastern Alabama into southwestern
   Georgia

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 251603Z - 251730Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...A locally higher severe threat may accompany a more robust
   cluster of thunderstorms moving southeast along the AL/GA border
   area. A categorical Slight Risk upgrade is anticipated for an
   increased severe wind/hail risk, with convective trends also being
   monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance.

   DISCUSSION...An organized cluster of strong multicells and perhaps
   transient supercells has recently become established in east-central
   AL, and is poised to continue tracking southeastward early this
   afternoon. These storms are preceded by an unstable airmass (i.e.
   MLCAPE approaching 2000 J/kg), where a modest 500 mb speed max is
   also passing by. As such, a locally higher overlap of favorable
   buoyancy and modest deep-layer shear will promote at least a locally
   severe wind and hail threat. In response, a categorical upgrade to
   Slight Risk will be made in the 1630Z Day 1 Convective Outlook.
   Convective trends are also being monitored for the need of a Severe
   Thunderstorm Watch issuance pending greater storm coverage.
