   Mesoscale Discussion 0692
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0553 PM CDT Sat May 23 2020

   Areas affected...Western and Central Alabama

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 232253Z - 240130Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...An isolated wind damage threat will likely continue for a
   couple more hours across western and central Alabama. The threat
   should be too marginal for weather watch issuance.

   DISCUSSION...The latest RAP shows a pocket of strong instability
   across far eastern Mississippi into western and central Alabama
   where MLCAPE is estimated in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. A bowing
   line segments is ongoing just to the west of the instability max
   near the Mississippi-Alabama state line. This line will continue to
   move eastward into north-central Alabama over the next couple of
   hours. Low-level lapse rates are steep ahead of the line and an
   isolated wind damage threat should be maintained. But the threat
   should be too marginal for weather watch issuance.
