   Mesoscale Discussion 0375
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1119 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020

   Areas affected...northeastern Mississippi...northwestern
   Alabama...western and middle Tennessee...and western Kentucky

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 114...

   Valid 130419Z - 130545Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 114
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Local risk for damaging winds continues, and may spread
   northeastward out of the WW into parts of western KY, middle TN, and
   northwestern AL.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows that convection has weakened --
   from a reflectivity perspective -- over the past hour, with a
   corresponding decrease in lightning.  Still, recent reports of wind
   damage have been received, as the line moves east-northeast at 55 to
   60 kt.  

   As cold air aloft associated with the parent upper system continues
   moving eastward, lingering modest instability across the middle
   TN/northwestern AL may be enhanced slightly.  As such, and the given
   very strong flow-field aloft, some potential for a few stronger wind
   gusts may linger through midnight and spread out of WW 114 into
   northwestern Alabama and middle Tennessee.  While at this time a new
   WW is not imminent, a watch could be needed if any signs of
   convective increase are observed, with the current, skeletal band of
   storms.
