PowellVolz Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 One thing to watch is where the line pivot is. The further north up the line you go, the more the storms are moving NE vs more ENE on the lower end. At some point those cell will start to separate and become more cellular. On the lower end of the pivot, you sometimes can develop a cell with it’s own meso feature. That’s what happened on Wednesday night with the tornado In Chattanooga. Only this time the shear is more favorable. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Mesoscale Discussion 0247 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0112 PM CST Fri Mar 03 2023 Areas affected...Eastern Tennessee into parts of northern Georgia Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 031912Z - 032045Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...An additional watch will likely be needed for parts of eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. Despite weaker thermodynamics, strong, veering low-level winds will support a risk for damaging winds and brief tornadoes. DISCUSSION...A fast moving line of storms will continue eastward through Middle Tennessee and northern Alabama. Strong wind fields continue to be sampled by regional VAD data. Some cloud cover has kept temperatures a bit subdued, particularly in north Georgia. Parts of eastern Tennessee have warmed into the mid 70s F. Between cooler temperatures, decreased moisture, and warmer temperatures aloft (especially with southward extent), the overall thermodynamic environment will likely be weaker than areas to the west. However, storm motion in addition to 50-70 kts within the boundary layer would support a threat for damaging winds even with relatively weak updrafts. Strong low-level shear would also promote some risk for brief tornadoes within the line of storms. A watch for parts of this region will likely be needed this afternoon. ..Wendt/Grams.. 03/03/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...GSP...MRX...FFC...

Windspeed Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 SPC AC 031959 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0159 PM CST Fri Mar 03 2023 Valid 032000Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN TENNESSEE INTO FAR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA...AND NORTHERN GEORGIA... ...SUMMARY... Tornadoes and scattered swaths of severe damaging winds are probable into this evening from Ohio Valley towards the southern Appalachians. ...20Z Update... ...OH Valley... An intense mid-level cyclone continues to move northeastward through the Lower OH Valley. Recent surface analysis placed the associated surface low near EVV, and sampled substantial pressure falls (greater than 8 mb over the last 2 hours) downstream across southern Indiana. Surface analysis also revealed a very sharp warm front extending eastward from the surface low to about 20 miles north of LEX (in northern KY), and then more southeastward to about 20 miles north of JKL. Given the strong mass response, some modest northward progression of this front is still possible, despite widespread cloud cover across the OH Valley. Strong convective line currently ongoing near the surface low will likely persist for at least the next few hours before the limited buoyancy associated with the narrowing lead to weakening. However, the surface low will continue to occlude, limiting downstream moisture advection and likely keeping buoyancy very limited across portions of eastern KY, southern OH, and western WV ahead of the approaching dry slot. As such, the severe threat has decreased enough to remove Enhanced probabilities. ...Eastern TN/Northern GA/East-Central AL... As addressed in recently issued MCD #247, a fast-moving line of storms will continue eastward in eastern TN, east-central AL, and northern GA. Buoyancy with remain rather limited, due to displacement from the cyclone. However, ascent along the front will continue to promote thunderstorms amid the warm and moist air mass over the region. Strong wind fields will continue to support the threat for damaging wind gusts and embedded tornadoes. ..Mosier.. 03/03/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1011 AM CST Fri Mar 03 2023/ ...TN to OH Valleys and the central/southern Appalachians... Two primary areas of convective activity are ongoing from MS/AL/TN border area northwest to the confluence of the MS/OH Rivers. Leading pre-frontal squall, low-topped near the central MS/AL border with progressively deeper tops northward, will likely persist east-northeast this afternoon and reach the southern Appalachians by early evening. With broken cloudiness across AL and richer boundary-layer moisture, sampled by the 12Z LIX sounding, advecting north from the central Gulf Coast, this QLCS should ingest the northern gradient of peak surface-based buoyancy. This should result in intensification of the squall line with embedded QLCS tornadoes and damaging winds as the primary hazards. Farther north, broken convective bands are evident along the northern periphery of the warm sector near the MS/OH Rivers confluence, close to the deep surface cyclone. A robust surface pressure rise-fall couplet and the extreme low to deep-layer shear should compensate for the meager surface-based buoyancy and likely yield a mix of low-topped supercells and quasi-linear bowing segments, as convection rapidly spreads east-northeast. Tornadoes should be realized in sustained supercells and line-embedded mesovortices, a few of which could be significant. Given the supercell wind profiles and morning CAMs suggesting more broken convection, damaging winds will probably consist of scattered swaths of severe gusts from 60-80 mph. Severe potential today will be limited on the southern part by weakening DCVA and frontal convergence with southward extent, on the northern end by northward loss of boundary-layer destabilization away from the warm-frontal zone, and to the east by loss of both daytime heating and overall lift. As such, the unconditional probability gradient is kept rather broad on both sides, though the actual southern/northern/eastern cutoffs of severe could be abrupt.

Windspeed Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We lost power a few times, but only briefly. Some outages lingering here and there, but fortunately, the event was rather tame around KTRI. Nothing tornadic. Probably had a few strong gusts around 50-60 mph near S. Holston River/Lake area that brought down some trees. Some strong gusts in southern and eastern portions of Sullivan Co. Hope everyone fared as well elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
