Locally strong gusts will be possible through early evening. DISCUSSION...Strong heating and surface dewpoints in the low/mid 70s F have contributed to MLCAPE around 2500-3000 J/kg across the region this afternoon. Thunderstorms are increasing to the southwest of a severe warned cluster over southern MS along a southward-sagging surface front. Visible satellite imagery has shown increasing/deepening cumulus near the surface boundary over the past couple of hours, and additional thunderstorm development is expected in the next 1-2 hours. Vertical shear is weaker compared to further east across WW 539. However, given moderate/strong instability, high PW values (near 2 inches), and steep low-level lapse rates near 8 C/km, sporadic wet microbursts are possible. If sufficient clustering/outflow consolidation occurs, damaging wind potential could increase with any forward-propagating clusters that develop. Convective trends will be monitored, and a severe thunderstorm watch could be issued at some point this afternoon if organized clusters develop. ...Leitman/Hart.. 07/22/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5F3t846gptdh-5sjZ5ce8e9_Ad4bUa65UkII8m0uiT3-smBQ9PHSAlHlb3d3J0YTepxqnRyBQ= QetJTjlikhC-tdFfng$ for graphic product...
