   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.
