 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 35
 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
 150 PM CDT THU MAR 25 2010

 THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

        PARTS OF NORTHERN ALABAMA
        SMALL PARTS OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS
        PARTS OF SOUTHWEST KENTUCKY
        MISSOURI BOOTHEEL
        PARTS OF NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI
        WESTERN AND PARTS OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE

 EFFECTIVE THIS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 150 PM UNTIL
 700 PM CDT.

 HAIL TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70
 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

 THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 90
 STATUTE MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 65 MILES WEST
 NORTHWEST OF FORT CAMPBELL KENTUCKY TO 40 MILES SOUTHEAST OF
 TUPELO MISSISSIPPI.  FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE
 THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

 REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
 FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
 AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
 THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
 AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
 DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

 DISCUSSION...LOW TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO INCREASE RAPIDLY
 ACROSS THE WATCH AS STRONG UPPER VORT/COLD POOL ROTATES ACROSS THE
 MS RIVER IN TN VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON.  SHEAR PROFILES WILL BE STRONG
 AND PARTICULARLY EASTERN PORTION OF WATCH SUPPORT ROTATING STORMS.
 WHILE INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN GENERALLY LESS THAN 1000 J/KG OF
 MUCAPE...THE STEEP LAPSE RATES AND STRONG ASCENT ALONG WITH SHEAR
 SUPPORT NOT ONLY MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL BUT WIND DAMAGE.
 ADDITIONALLY IF SUPERCELLS ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP A BRIEF TORNADO
 THREAT AND LARGER HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

 AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
 TO 2 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 300. MEAN STORM
 MOTION VECTOR 24035.


 ...HALES

RUC 0-3km MLCAPE, effective at 5 p.m.

CAPE stands for convective available potential energy. Essentially, CAPE is a measure of the instability in the atmosphere which is one of the main ingredients for severe weather. Warm, moist air near the surface, combined with cooler, dry air aloft causes "instability". This instability helps provide lift and moisture for convection, or thunderstorm development. Without convection, thunderstorms would not develop. Tornado development usually requires a significant amount of instability in order to develop supercells or other forms of convection. Many other factors, though, are necessary for tornado development. Wind shear (changes in direction and speed of winds with height) is critical, among others. I have noticed in recent years that tornadoes have formed many times in situations where instability values were not impressive but shear and other factors were strong. Case in point: the Huntsville tornado of January 21, 1010.


Let's see if that happens today.

SPC Day 2 Severe Weather Outlook



SPC/SREF Supercell Composite Index, Valid 3 PM 3/25/10



SPC/SREF Significant Tornado >1 Index, Valid 3PM, 3/25/10

Severe weather, including a few tornadoes, is possible in Alabama tomorrow afternoon and evening. Despite some lingering cool air at the surface, models are showing a moist slot of surface dewpoints in the 60's in Alabama prior to frontal and/or dry line passage. Increasing dewpoints, combined with strong shear and a 70-90 knot jet stream may contribute to supercells and a few tornadoes. The SPC states that forecast soundings show "classic profiles for supercells capable of producing large hail and tornadoes."

Stay tuned and be weather aware tomorrow!

On 3/22/2010, the first full day of spring, snow showers associated with an upper level low pressure system moved across North Alabama resulting in a dusting of snow in higher elevations.

One of my co-workers, Debbie Blevins, took the video and the pictures seen below in the Oden Ridge community, which is near the town of Eva in Morgan County, Alabama around 10:41 a.m. I used to live in Oden Ridge myself and it is not unusual for snowfall events and amounts to be enhanced by the elevation there.
