   Mesoscale Discussion 0320
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0952 PM CDT Wed Apr 08 2020

   Areas affected...middle and eastern Tennessee...far northern Alabama
   and Georgia

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 090252Z - 090445Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...Severe storms may eventually affect areas east of Tornado
   Watch 92, and a new watch is likely. Damaging winds appears to be
   the primary threat, but a tornado is possible.

   DISCUSSION...An unstable air mass resides across the region this
   evening, with ample deep-layer shear favorable for
   sustained/organized storms. Currently a line of storms is moving
   east/southeast across Middle TN, likely with damaging wind gusts.
   Downstream areas will likely require a watch soon as the environment
   is supportive of a continued threat. In addition, isolated cells
   cannot be ruled out as capping is minimal, and lift will persist
   through early tonight.
