Areas affected...middle Tennessee and northern Alabama

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 121955Z - 122100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated severe wind and hail risk possible through the
afternoon.

DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms has strengthened across middle
Tennessee as air mass recovery has led to around 500-1000 J/kg of
mixed layer CAPE analyzed in surface objective analysis and RAP
analysis as of 1940z. The main threats through the afternoon will be
for isolated damaging wind and hail, as low level shear is marginal.
Deep layer shear is more notable around 55 kts from KOHX, further
supporting the risk of severe hail up to 1 inch. Recent reports of
hail up to 1-1.5 inch have been received near Smyrna, Tennessee.
Need for a watch is uncertain but trends will continue to be
monitored.
