DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1130 AM CDT SAT APR 14 2007

VALID 141630Z - 151200Z

..THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM SOUTHEAST MS...ACROSS
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL AL...THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE...CENTRAL
GA...AND PARTS OF SC....

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE CENTRAL GULF COAST
REGION INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES...

BROAD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL TRACK EASTWARD DURING
THIS FORECAST PERIOD...WHILE RAPIDLY DEEPENING SURFACE LOW MOVES
FROM NORTHERN MS INTO EASTERN VA. SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS IN WARM
SECTOR OF LOW WILL TRANSPORT RICH MOISTURE RAPIDLY NORTHWARD ACROSS
AL/GA TODAY...AND INTO SC TONIGHT. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A
POTENTIALLY ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TONIGHT.

..MS/AL TODAY...
CLUSTER OF SUPERCELL STORMS ARE CURRENTLY AFFECTING SOUTHEAST MS.
THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AL
THIS AFTERNOON ALONG RETREATING WARM FRONT WHERE LOW LEVEL VERTICAL
SHEAR PROFILES WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES. AREAS SOUTH OF THE
WARM FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO DESTABILIZE RAPIDLY TODAY WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE MID/UPPER 60S AND CAPE VALUES OVER 1500 J/KG. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THIS REGION DURING THE
AFTERNOON...WITH PARAMETERS FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS AND A FEW
TORNADOES. COMBINATION OF FAVORABLE CAPE AND SHEAR INDICATE A RISK
OF ISOLATED STRONG TORNADOES.

..GA/SC TONIGHT...
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN GA. THIS WILL HELP TO DESTABILIZE THE REGION WITH
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S...AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS RISING
THROUGH THE 60S. CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE OUT OF
AL THIS AFTERNOON AND ACROSS GA THIS EVENING...AND INTO SC
OVERNIGHT. RAPID DEEPENING OF SURFACE LOW WILL RESULT IN EXTREMELY
STRONG LOW LEVEL VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES ACROSS THIS REGION AFTER
DARK. POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS ACROSS THE MDT
RISK AREA...ALONG WITH ISOLATED STRONG TORNADOES. UPSCALE
ORGANIZATION IS ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS THIS REGION DURING THE NIGHT
WITH A DAMAGING WIND/TORNADO THREAT ALONG LEADING EDGE OF SQUALL
LINE.

..NC/VA AFTER MIDNIGHT...
SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO DEEPEN BELOW 998MB BY 12Z OVER SOUTHERN
VA. INTENSE WIND FIELDS IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THE LOW WILL MAINTAIN
A RISK OF DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WITH ORGANIZED CONVECTION
OVER THIS REGION.
