AREAS AFFECTED...NRN OH...WRN PA

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 372...

VALID 252045Z - 252145Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 372 CONTINUES.

THE SEVERE THREAT CURRENTLY IN THE NRN PART OF WW 372 IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP EWD ACROSS NRN OH AND MAY REACH WRN PA BY EARLY THIS
EVENING. THE STRONGER CELLS MAY HAVE A TORNADO THREAT. WIND DAMAGE
AND HAIL WILL BE LIKELY WITH THE MORE INTENSE STORMS. WW ISSUANCE
WILL BE POSSIBLE TO THE EAST OF TORNADO WATCH 372.

A CLUSTER OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS ONGOING IN NRN OH
ALONG THE NOSE OF A 35 TO 45 KT LOW-LEVEL JET. THIS FEATURE IS
FORECAST TO MOVE EWD INTO CNTRL OH WHERE A GRADIENT OF MODERATE
INSTABILITY IS LOCATED. MESOANALYSIS ESTIMATED MLCAPE VALUES RANGE
FROM 2000 J/KG IN CNTRL OH TO ABOUT 1000 J/KG IN NE OH. THIS
ENVIRONMENT ALONG WITH MODERATE DEEP LAYER SHEAR PROFILES EVIDENT ON
THE CLEVELAND WSR-88D VWP SHOULD SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT. WIND
DAMAGE WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY THREAT AS A LINE GRADUALLY APPROACHES
THE ERN EDGE OF WW 372. HOWEVER...A THREAT FOR TORNADOES MAY ALSO
EXIST ESPECIALLY AS LOW-LEVEL SHEAR INCREASES ACROSS THE REGION.

0345 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...MIDDLE TN...NRN AL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 252045Z - 252215Z

ALTHOUGH THE SEVERE THREAT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY INCREASE INTO THIS
EVENING AND LIKELY REQUIRE A TORNADO WATCH ISSUANCE...SUBSTANTIAL
UNCERTAINTY EXISTS OVER THE TIMING OF SUSTAINED TSTM INITIATION E/S
OF WW/S 370/371 ACROSS MIDDLE TN INTO NRN AL.

SMALL CB/SHOWER DEVELOPMENT HAS RECENTLY OCCURRED ACROSS PARTS OF
SWRN TN/NRN MS WITHIN A LONG-LIVED BUT DIMINISHING STRATOCU DECK
THAT ARCS FROM WRN TN INTO NRN LA. WITH STRONGER FORCED ASCENT
LIKELY HOLDING WEST OF THIS REGION...APPARENT WEAK LOW-LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AND THE LACK OF SIGNAL IN CONVECTION-ALLOWING
HRRR/WRF-NMM GUIDANCE SUGGEST UPDRAFTS MAY STRUGGLE TO BECOME
SUSTAINED DESPITE A VERY BUOYANT AND UNCAPPED AIR MASS PER MODIFIED
18Z BNA RAOB. HOWEVER...IF TSTMS DO BECOME SUSTAINED...THE
COMBINATION OF STRONG INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
SUPERCELLS WITH ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE...AND
NECESSITATE A WW ISSUANCE PERHAPS AS EARLY AS 21-22Z.
OTHERWISE...THE EVENTUAL NEWD PROGRESSION OF ONGOING SUPERCELLS OVER
CNTRL AR WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A WW ISSUANCE LATER THIS EVENING.
