Areas affected...southern TN...far northwest GA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 121513Z - 121615Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...A small tornado watch is being considered for southern TN
into far northwest GA as a squall line continues to move east
towards the area later this morning and into the midday hours.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a squall line over southern middle
TN extending southwest into northern AL.  Surface analysis shows
surface dewpoints in the upper 50s with temperatures into the mid
60s.  KHTX VAD shows strong southwesterly mid-level flow (70 kt
around 6 km AGL) and forecast soundings show enlarged low-level
hodographs.  Although buoyancy is seemingly the limiting ingredient,
forecast soundings show around 250 J/kg MLCAPE, likely adequate for
a continued risk for severe thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts
and perhaps a brief tornado or two.
