Valid 121554Z - 121730Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 17 continues. SUMMARY...Most favorable mesoscale environment for supercells and a tornado risk is focused near the MS/AL border and into west-central AL through 1130am CST. DISCUSSION...Subjective mesoscale analysis shows temperatures warming into the lower 70s over west-central AL to the east of a broken band of storms with several quasi-discrete updrafts. Surface dewpoints are in the lower 60s and RAP forecast soundings indicate around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE when modifying for current surface observations. Long hodographs will continue to promote a supercellular storm mode. In addition, around 200-250 m2/s2 0-0.5 km effective SRH is indicated. Given this overlap of buoyancy/shear, it appears the most favorable mesoscale environment will be focused over west-central AL over the next 1-2 hours. A tornado risk will continue with any robust supercell. ...Smith.. 01/12/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8UZqOeb22ChIouPaS1TffTU6tMDviQGoje5RtiJ8_DBgFlxuV504Qwm4AK49uJ_hRXyb_E3lG= 2z21e0lghqyFBiK2sg$ for graphic product...
