Mesoscale Discussion 366


Mesoscale Discussion 0366 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0610 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020 Areas affected...Parts of northern Georgia Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 122310Z - 130015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Damaging wind/tornado risk will expand into parts of northern Georgia over the next hour. WW issuance will likely be needed soon. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop continues to show a long-lived, well-organized cluster of storms with an embedded mesolow moving rapidly east-northeastward across northeast Arkansas. Within this cluster, several smaller-scale tornadic-type circulations have transiently occured. Though instability is limited with northward extent over northern Georgia, a small area of ample instability exists ahead of this cluster -- given the very strong flow field aloft -- to allow risk for damaging winds and tornado potential to expand into parts of northern Georgia. A new tornado watch will likely be required. ..Goss/Hart.. 04/12/2020
