MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0097

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1009 AM CST WED JAN 30 2013

AREAS AFFECTED...NRN/WRN GA...ERN/SRN AL...AND ADJACENT AREAS OF THE

FL PNHDL

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 18...19...

VALID 301609Z - 301745Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 18...19...CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...POTENTIAL FOR STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND

GUSTS AND TORNADOES PROBABLY WILL INCREASE THRU

18-20Z...PARTICULARLY ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN ALABAMA THROUGH

WESTERN/NORTHERN GEORGIA.

DISCUSSION...A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE HAS SHOWN ONLY FAIRLY SLOW

EASTWARD MOVEMENT DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. MEANWHILE..BROAD

LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION IS

CONTRIBUTING TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITHIN THE RELATIVELY NARROW WEDGE

OF HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WHICH HAS ADVECTED INLAND OFF THE

GULF OF MEXICO. CLOUD COVER WITHIN THIS AIR MASS IS LIMITING

SURFACE HEATING AND BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION. HOWEVER...THE

RAPID REFRESH SUGGESTS THAT A 65-70 KT SOUTHERLY 850 MB JET CORE IS

IN THE PROCESS OF EXPANDING NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF SOUTHWESTERN

ALABAMA INTO THE NORTHERN GEORGIA PIEDMONT BETWEEN NOW AND 18-20Z.

THIS IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR AS THE AMPLIFIED UPSTREAM UPPER TROUGH

AXIS TAKES ON MORE OF A NEUTRAL TO NEGATIVE TILT ACROSS EASTERN

TEXAS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF

STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR...AT LEAST WEAK INSTABILITY...AND INCREASING

LARGE-SCALE SUPPORT FOR UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION...POTENTIAL FOR

INCREASING CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION/EASTWARD ACCELERATION AND SEVERE

WEATHER POTENTIAL APPEARS TO EXIST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A

CORRIDOR FROM MONTGOMERY AND TROY AL THROUGH AREAS NEAR AND

NORTHEAST OF THE ATLANTA METROPOLITAN AREA. THIS INCLUDES THE RISK

FOR TORNADOES...AS WELL AS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.
