AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHWEST TENNESSEE INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 438...
VALID 022332Z - 030130Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 438
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SOME DAMAGING WIND THREAT WILL LIKELY PERSIST ACROSS
NORTHWEST TENNESSEE AND INTO THE LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEY THROUGH
MID-EVENING, BUT THE OVERALL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THE WIND
THREAT SHOULD WANE THROUGH THE COMING HOURS. DOWNSTREAM WATCH
ISSUANCE IS NOT EXPECTED.
DISCUSSION...LATEST RADAR IMAGERY FROM KPAH AND KHPX SHOWS AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PRECEDING DEEPER CONVECTION EMANATING OUT OF MIDDLE
TN THAT HAS A HISTORY OF SPORADIC WIND DAMAGE. ALTHOUGH RECENT WIND
REPORTS HAVE MOSTLY BEEN IN THE 25-30 MPH RANGE, VELOCITY IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO SHOW POCKETS OF STRONGER WINDS WITHIN THE LOWEST 1-3 KM
THAT HINT THAT ISOLATED SWATHS OF DAMAGING WINDS REMAIN POSSIBLE IN
THE NEAR TERM WITH THE PRIMARY CLUSTER. ADDITIONALLY, NEW CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT IS NOTED ON THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THE LEADING OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY WITH ADDITIONAL NEW DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE GIVEN A WEAKLY
CAPPED ENVIRONMENT WITH AROUND 4000 J/KG MLCAPE IMMEDIATELY
DOWNSTREAM. WITH LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 7 TO 8 C/KM, SOME
DOWNBURST WIND THREAT WILL LIKELY PERSIST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HOURS.
HOWEVER, THE APPROACHING ONSET OF NOCTURNAL COOLING WILL BEGIN TO
DIMINISH LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND GRADUALLY INCREASE INHIBITION.
THIS SHOULD BEGIN TO STEADILY MODULATE OVERALL CONVECTIVE
INTENSITIES AND DIMINISH THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS,
ESPECIALLY AFTER 02 UTC. CONSEQUENTLY, DOWNSTREAM WATCH ISSUANCE IS
CURRENTLY NOT EXPECTED.
