MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1641
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0131 PM CDT SAT AUG 08 2015

   AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND PARTS OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE

   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY 

   VALID 081831Z - 081930Z

   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

   SUMMARY...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE GRADUALLY INCREASING IN
   INTENSITY AND COVERAGE ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA...WITH ISOLATED
   DAMAGING WIND GUSTS THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS CONVECTION.  WW
   ISSUANCE IS NOT ANTICIPATED GIVEN THE ISOLATED NATURE OF THE THREAT.

   DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER INLAND PARTS OF
   SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND ALONG NORTHWARD-MOVING GUST FRONTS LOCATED
   ALONG THE IMMEDIATE GULF COAST.  THESE STORMS ARE IN AN ENVIRONMENT
   CHARACTERIZED BY RELATIVELY MEAGER NORTHERLY DEEP SHEAR VALUES
   AROUND 20-30 KNOTS...BUT VERY STRONG INSTABILITY WITH AROUND 3000
   J/KG MLCAPE.  GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY...STRONGER CELLS IN
   THE DISCUSSION AREA WILL POSE A THREAT FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND
   GUSTS AND PERHAPS ONE OR TWO INSTANCES OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL
   OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.  WITH TIME...CONTINUED INCREASING
   CONVECTIVE COVERAGE/OVERTURNING AND STABILIZATION DUE TO THE
   NORTHWARD PROGRESSION OF AIRMASS JUST SOUTH OF THE SEA-BREEZE/GUST
   FRONT SHOULD LESSEN THE INSTABILITY AND LEAD TO AN OVERALL WEAKENING
   TREND IN CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY TOWARD SUNSET.  GIVEN THE ISOLATED
   NATURE OF THE SEVERE THREAT...A WW IS NOT ANTICIPATED FOR THIS
   ACTIVITY.
