    Mesoscale Discussion 1752

    1245 PM CDT Tue Jul 22 2025

    Areas affected...Eastern Alabama into southwest Georgia and parts of
    the Florida Panhandle

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

    Valid 221745Z - 221945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging downburst winds will be possible across parts of
    eastern Alabama, southwest Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle
    through late afternoon as thunderstorms increase in coverage and
    intensity.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms developing within a corridor of higher
    low-level theta-e across eastern AL into southwest GA and the FL
    Panhandle have shown signs of gradual intensification over the past
    30 minutes with echo tops beginning to exceed 40 kft in a few deeper
    convective cores. Despite the very moist/buoyant environment (MLCAPE
    between 2000-3000 J/kg), regional VWPs continue to sample very poor
    deep-layer wind shear, suggesting that convective mode will largely
    remain a collection of short-lived single-cell storms and cold-pool
    driven convective clusters (evidence of which is already noted
    across southwest GA where cold pool consolidation is beginning to
    take place). As such, the overall severe threat will remain very
    limited. However, a few damaging downbursts appear probable given
    very deep buoyancy profiles, PWAT values exceeding 2 inches, and
    steepening lapse rates within the lowest 2 km - all of which are
    favorable for accelerating water-loaded downdrafts. Downburst winds
    between 40-55 mph will be most common, but a few isolated gusts
    approaching 60 are possible. This potential should be maximized
    through peak heating when buoyancy and low-level lapse rates will
    both be maximized.
