    Areas affected...parts of middle/eastern Tennessee

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 041819Z - 042045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Occasional intensification of thunderstorms posing a risk
    for severe hail and localized damaging wind gusts may continue
    through late afternoon. Although the severe threat still appears
    mostly marginal in nature, and severe weather watch unlikely to be
    required, trends are continuing to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...An initial surface cold front has stalled roughly along
    the I-40 corridor of middle/eastern Tennessee, near the southern
    periphery of the stronger cyclonic mid/upper flow associated with
    the amplified eastern U.S. troughing. Although it appears that an
    area of better mid/upper forcing for ascent is now shifting to the
    east of the southern Appalachians, lift aided by low-level warm
    advection along the frontal zone is maintaining renewed thunderstorm development, as a relatively moist boundary layer characterized by
    mid/upper 60s surface dew points destabilizes. Aided by modestly steep/steepening lower tropospheric lapse rates, mixed-layer CAPE
    appears to be peaking around 1500-2000 J/kg. In the presence of
    weak to modest clockwise curved low-level hodographs, beneath 30-35
    kt westerly 500 mb flow, the environment may remain conducive to the
    occasional development and intensification of supercell structures
    posing a risk for severe hail and localized damaging wind gusts
    through the remainder of the afternoon.
